Abstract
The present invention includes compositions and methods of using a molecule of Formula I: wherein R is selected from methyl, ethyl, propyl, isopropyl, butyl, phenyl, cyclohexyl, fluoro, chloro, methoxy, ethoxy, butoxy, phenoxy, aryl, alkene, alkyne, and heterocyclic. The molecule of Formula I is a ligand until a metal is added, at which time the molecule is a catalyst.
