Coordination chemistry of 5,5″-disubstituted 2,2′:6′,2″-terpyridines
摘要:
Two 2,2':6',2"-terpyridine ligands bearing substituents in the 5 and 5"-positions have been prepared and their iron(II) complexes studied to investigate the influence of substituents in these positions. A synergistic interplay between sigma- and pi-bonding effects, involving conjugation of the substituents with the central ring, means that, in contrast to 4'-substituted 2,2':6',2"-terpyridines, the metal-ligand interactions cannot be simply correlated with the electron-donor or -acceptor properties of the substituents. The crystal structure of the complex [Fe(3)(2)][PF(6)](2). 2MeCN (3 = 5,5"-bis(propoxy)-2,2':6',2"-terpyridine) is reported. In addition, cobalt(II) and ruthenium(II) complexes of 5,5"-bis(propoxy)-2,2':6',2"-terpyridin were prepared and characterised. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
