Abstract:
Herein, we report the synthesis and metallation chemistry of dipodal pyridyl functionalized
phenyl and p-cresol substituted pyridyl phosphoramide ligands. The crystal structures of
the p-cresol containing pyridyl phosphoramide ligands have been reported. The
metallation reaction of the p-cresol functionalized dipodal ligands are not successful.
Reactivity of the ligand L2 (phenyl phosporamide ligand backbone) with silver salts results
in the isolation of two different 1D- and 3D-frameworks. The non-centrosymmetric nature
of the 3D-framework indicates the potential of this material as a possible ferroelectric
material.
