Complexes with pincers : 2,6-Diphenylpyridine as twofold-deprotonated terdentate ligand in C,C-trans-, and as mono-deprotonated chelate ligand in chiral C,C-cis-complexes of platinum(II) and palladium(II)
A2,6-Diphenylpyridine forms, as twofold-deprotonated, terdentate ligand, complexes with Pt(II) and Pd(II), having two adjacent five-membered metallocycles. As mono-deprotonated, bidentate ligand, it forms cis-bis-complexes having a chirality axis. Pt(II) complexes undergo thermal and photochemical oxidative addition reactions, yielding stable Pt(IV) compounds. Pd(II) complexes yield substitued 2,6-diphenylpyridine in photochemical reactions
