Strem Catalog offers a selection of 35+ pincer compounds
Pincer ligands and pincer compounds are a rapidly growing field in chemistry. A pincer complex is formed when a suitable tridentate ligand binds to a metal center so that all three coordination sites are arranged in an approximate planar geometry. This leads to a meridional configuration which is different from a piano stool complex. The result is a synergistic binding effect which leads to highly stable complexes. A vast number of pincer ligands have been described in literature and virtually any possible donor-atom has been employed in these compounds. In the Strem Catalog, there is a selection of over 35 pincer compounds from countless variations.
