The Monoanionic ECE-Pincer Ligand: A Versatile Privileged Ligand Platform—General Considerations

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Organometallic Pincer Chemistry

Part of the book series: Topics in Organometallic Chemistry ((TOPORGAN,volume 40))

Abstract

During the past 40 years, the monoanionic, tridentate ligand platform that has been named “Pincer” has established itself as a privileged ligand in a variety of research and application areas. Exciting discoveries with NCN and PCP-pincer metal complexes in the late 1970s created a firm basis for the tremendous development of the field. Some of the basic findings are summarized with emphasis on the organometallic aspects of the ECE-pincer metal system.
