A new fluorone-based bridging ligand for discrete and polymeric assemblies including Mo and W based [4+4] metallocycles

Abstract

Redox-active ligands are of interest for their ability to link metal centres and generate electroactive materials. We report the synthesis of 9-hydrogen-2,3,7-trihydroxyfluorone, which is able to serve as a bridging ligand and has the potential to exist in multiple oxidation states. Anionic [4+4] metallocycles in which Mo or W centres are linked by the trianion of this ligand are also described.
