A π-extended β-diketiminate ligand via a templated Scholl approach.

Published in: Chemical communications (Cambridge, England) (2024)

We report a templated Scholl oxidation strategy for the preparation of the first β-diketiminate (BDI) ligands embedded within a 24-electron π-system backbone. The resulting benzo[ f , g ]tetracene BDI ligand was coordinated to a zinc centre and electrochemical studies showed the redox active nature of the ligand.
