Complex 2 is prepared by a salt-elimination reaction of 1. Complex 3 is prepared either by deprotonation of 2 or by a protonation reaction of the cyclometallate complex 4. Complex 5 is prepared variously by protonation reactions involving cyclometallate 4. Complex 6 is prepared by two different protonation strategies involving 3 or 4.
