Abstract

Novel palladium(II) complexes with bis(pyrazol-1-yl)methane ligands at the focal point of G0-G3 poly(aryl ether) Fréchet-type dendrons are reported. The molecular structures of the metallodendrimer series G0, G1, and G2 [(dend)CH(3,5-Me2pz)2(PdCl2)] have been determined by X-ray diffraction methods. The three structures show a similar three-dimensional organization of the metal complex, which is progressively engulfed by the branches with increasing dendrimer generation.
