Pincer palladacycles are an interesting class of monomeric organopalladium complexes with a Pd–C bond, intramolecularly stabilized by two heteroatom containing groups bound to the metal center. Often due to synthetic accessibility, such pincer complexes are mainly symmetrical whereby both heteroatom containing coordinating groups are the same. However, recently a whole raft of novel unsymmetrical examples have emerged. Numerous examples of unsymmetrical pincer palladacycles are presented, underlining their structural diversity and their synthesis. Examples of key aspects of pincer chemistry, catalytic applications, and theoretical studies are also presented. |
