Unusual Electronic Structure of First Row Transition Metal Complexes Featuring Redox-Active Dipyrromethane Ligands.

Transition metal complexes (Mn → Zn) of the dipyrromethane ligand, 1,9-dimesityl-5,5-dimethyldipyrromethane (dpm), have been prepared. Arylation of the dpm ligand a to the pyrrolic nitrogen donors limits the accessibility of the pyrrole π-electrons for transition metal coordination, instead forcing...
