Abstract and subjects
Beryllium has been successfully incorporated into a naphthalene containing Schiff base ligand. Evidence from both experimental and calculated
9Be NMR data and model compounds indicate that the ligand completely encapsulates the beryllium cation via tetra-dentate tetrahedral coordination using both phenol and imine donors.
Beryllium has been successfully incorporated into a naphthalene containing Schiff base ligand. Evidence from
9Be and
1H NMR data and model compounds indicate that the ligand completely encapsulates the beryllium cation via tetra-dentate tetrahedral coordination using both phenol and imine donors. Calculated
9Be NMR data at the B3LYP/6-311G+(2d,p) DFT level of theory is in agreement with this conclusion.
