Various para-OH functionalized ECE-pincer metal complexes [MX(ECE-OH)Ln] (ECE-OH = [C6H2(CH2E)2-2,6-OH-4]-, E = NMe2, PPh2 and SPh) were synthesized. The X-ray crystal structures of neutral [PdCl(SCS-OH)], [PdCl(NCN-OH)], and cationic [Pd(PCP-OH)(MeCN)](BF4) are reported. The neutral halide complexes exhibit self-assembly to form polymeric chains via H-bonding involving the para-OH group as donors and the halide ligand on the metal as acceptors. Moreover, the halide ligand can be replaced by a monomeric aryloxy-O ligand leading to the formation of a covalently bonded dimer. The crystal structure of such a dimer derived from [PdI(NCN-OH)] is reported. Furthermore, these pincer-metal complexes were tethered through a carbamate linker to a siloxane functionality with the aim to be immobilized on a silica support. The crystal structure of a siloxane-functionalized [PtI(NCN-Z)] complex exemplifies how other H-bonding interactions not involving the metal-halide groupings can lead to polymeric networks as well.
