Rational Design of Tridentate NNN Zn(II) Catalysts: Ligand-Assisted Synthesis of Trisubstituted s -Triazines via Dehydrogenative Coupling of Primary Alcohols with Amidines and Biguanides
s-Triazines are important N-heterocycles used in pharmaceuticals, sensors, and optoelectronic devices, but their synthesis typically relies on prefunctionalized substrates and harsh conditions. In this study, we synthesized a series of well-characterized zinc complexes, confirmed by various spectroscopic methods, whi...
