Electronic influence of substitution on the pyridine ring within NNN pincer-type molecules
Timothy M. Schwartz, Marianne E. Burnett, Kayla N. Green
Abstract
pincer ligand shows a redox event within experimental windows evaluated, in contrast to the other congeners studied. In addition, electron-donating groups increase the electron density around the Cu(ii) center based on DFT studies and cyclic voltammetry. These findings can be applied to other pyridine-based pincer systems when considering ligand design and warrants future characterization of 4-position substituted pyridines.
