Versatile coordination modes of 2-(Diformylmethylene)-3,3-dimethylindole towards late-transition-metal ions: C-H bond activation and formation of cyclic acyl-palladium(ii) complexes

The reaction of the potential multidentate ligand, 2-(diformylmethylene)-3,3-dimethylindole (diformyl), with M(OAc)(2) (M = Co-II, Ni-II, Cu-II, Zn-II, Cd-II, and Pd-II) afforded a series of metal complexes with different nuclearity in which the mono-deprotonated diformyl behaves as an N,O-bidentate...
