  abstract     = {{Through the course of this project the reactions of a POPOP-pincer ligand based on a backbone of cyclohexane was studied. It was reacted with different precursors to see what complexes could be formed and if a pincer complex could be used to form a carbene. Previous studies have been carried out on pincer complexes to see if they can act as catalysts for a myriad of different chemical reactions. The research has mostly focused on PCP-pincer ligands which has left a gap in the knowledge of specifically POCOP-pincer ligands and how they react. This project aims to study the interaction between a specific POCOP-pincer ligand and different Pd, Pt, and Ni precursor complexes and if the formed complexes could form a carbene with the POCOP-pincer ligand. The reactions were carried out using schlenk techniques or in a nitrogen-filled glovebox and they were analysed with H1 and P31-NMR. The results showed that of the four tested metal precursors only PdCl2(CH3CN)2 reacted with the POCOP-pincer ligand while NiBr2(PPh3)2, NiCl2(CH3CN)2, and PtCl2(CH3CN)2 showed no reaction. The Pd-pincer complex was reacted with KHMDS (potassium(K) HexaMethylDiSilazide) and P(OMe)3 and P31-NMR showed that a carbene was slowly formed.}},
