Synthesis and Supramolecular Association of NCN-Pincer Pd-Complex-bound Norvaline Derivatives toward Fabrication of Controlled Metal Array
Novel NCN-pincer Pd-complex-bound norvaline derivatives were synthesized. The N- and C-termini-alkylated Pd-norvalines spontaneously assemble into fibrous aggregates to form supramolecular gels, in which the NCN-pincer Pd complex moieties assemble in a highly oriented manner.
