Abstract

Two tridentate tris-(thio)urea ligands (L2 and L3) have been synthesized. Ligand L2 forms a 2:2 complex (1) with the (H2PO4·HPO4)3- dimer. 1H NMR and UV-vis titrations revealed that the mixed urea-thiourea ligand, L2, shows considerable anion binding affinities, while the tris-thiourea ligand, L3, undergoes deprotonation in the presence of basic anions.
