Square-planar rhodium(I) complexes with aroamtic bent terdentate nitrogen ligand as candidates for rod-like extended materials

摘要

The crystal structure of 2,6-bis(1-methylbenzimidazol-2-yl)pyridine (L~4) evidenced a quasi trans-trans conformation of the unsubstituted nitrogen atoms of the aromatic rings which is maintained in solution on the NMR timescale.
