Abstract: Classic pincer ligands (A, E = P, N, O, S) are complementary to late transition.
Our approach is to match the harder early transition metals with a harder pincer ligand.
We have synthesized a series of new pincer ligands based on amidoarylideamido (B,
Ar = 2,6iPrC6H3, and 3,5MeC6H3) and alkoxidearylidealkoxide linkages (C, OCO3
= 1,3-C6H4(6-tBuC6H3OH)2).
