Electronic Thesis and Dissertation Repository
The synthesis of transition metal complexes containing redox-active ligands or ligands with redox-active substituents have been areas of ongoing interest in chemical research. To date, only a handful of examples involving redox-active ligands containing main group centres have been reported.
This thesis presents work on the development of novel redox-active ligands utilizing an assortment of nitrogen-based frameworks (diiminopyridine (DIMPY), 1,4-diaza-1,3-butadiene (DAB), N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC)) that contain metallocene substituents (ferrocene and an understudied redox-active Co(III) moiety). Initially the syntheses of an N, N’-differocenyl diiminopyridine and its low-valent chalcogen (S2+, Se2+, Te2+) and pnictogen …
