A new tetradentate (N–)2S2 macrocyclic ligand which is highly selective for platinum (II) and palladium (II)
Abstract
A newly designed tetradentate macrocyclic ligand (H2L)(3), in which the two amide and two sulphide units act co-operatively, shows high selectivity and efficiency for complex formation with PtII and PdII over CuII, NiII, and CoII.
