series of luminescentruthenium(II) polypyridyl complexes containing an extended aromatic moiety derived from triptycene and 1,10-phenanthroline were synthesized and their photophysical, theoretical, and biological properties were investigated. These complexes rapidly condense DNA into nano-aggregates at room temperature. The DNA interactions and DNA condensation properties of these complexes were investigated

Shape-persistent ligands with triptycene groups are promising candidates for the development of porous metal-organic frameworks with functional surface area. In this work, a series of phenanthroline-extended triptycene compounds was synthesized and used as structure-directing ligands for the fabrication of a triptycene-scaffolded Prussian blue analogue. The ligands were reacted with K(3)[Fe(CN)(6)] and CuCl(2) under hydrothermal conditions to afford two new clathrates: a coordination compound of (triptycenyl phenanthroline) copper(I) and an infinite one-dimensional zigzag coordination polymer of copper cyanide scaffolded by phenanthroline-extended triptycenes. These structures illustrate the potential for the triptycene-functionalized ligands to provide access to materials with interesting architectures.
