Designing a ligand which can not only bind with the metal but also directly participate in a bond activation reaction and undergo a reversible chemical transformation has been recognized as a promising way to target catalysis problems related to the uncovering of new reactions and selective conversion of substrates. Here we report the preparation of a novel tripodal ligand featured with phosphorus/nitrogen mixed donors and a NH linker. A series of iron and ruthenium complexes containing such ligand have been synthesized with their structures characterized.
