The first project is described in Chapter 2, and details the synthesis of a series of mono- and multimetallic Pd(II) NNN-pincer complexes which—to the best of our knowledge—represent the first examples of these types of complexes being employed as catalysts in a Heck reaction. Chapter 3 discusses the design and synthesis of a hybrid pincer/imidazolium salt ligand and its transition metal chemistry, with the ultimate goal of synthesizing heterobimetallic complexes for bifunctional catalysis. The work in Chapter 4 strays away from the catalysis theme, and includes preliminary investigations into the synthesis of metal-organic frameworks (MOF) derived from the combination of a bis[palladium(II)] complex with a pyridine-appended ditopic macrocycle.
