As an entry point into this field, we have successfully generated and studied a simple conjugated ligand. Upon treatment with Pd(II), a modest bathochromic shift can be observed via UV-vis spectroscopy. Current efforts are directed toward obtaining larger amounts of this ligand so that studies can be performed that allow better understanding of the electronic and complexation behavior of this ligand.
In order to take full advantage of this complexation event, we propose incorporation of this substructure into discotic and cruciform motifs. Synthetic efforts toward these targets are currently underway. We anticipate that these ligands will demonstrate a significant electronic response to multiple equivalents of transition metal, making them exciting candidates for organic electronics components.
