• ligand extensively used in the synthesis of cyclometallated iridium(III) and platinum(II) derivatives [46][47] but whose reactivity towards Pd(II) centres is unexplored. This kind of ligand has been functionalised with a chiral group such as a cholesteryl ester unit, introduced as terminal substituent in

• soft materials with non-conventional structures. Platinum(II) and Zinc(II) For the less explored Pt(II) and Zn(II) metal centres versatile 2,2′-bipyridines have been selected since they are well-known building blocks for the formation of inorganic functional nanomaterials [51]. The complexation of non
