The key compound bis(2,2′:6′,2′′-terpyridin-4′-yl)amine was prepared in one step starting
from 4′-amino-2,2′:6′,2′′-terpyridine and 4′-bromo-2,2′:6′,2′′-terpyridine in quantitative
yield. In addition, we have established an easy and efficient route for the synthesis
of the bromoterpyridine compound. Using the novel ligand, two ruthenium complexes
were also prepared.
aminoterpyridine - bromoterpyridine - amino-bridged terpyridine - metallodendrimers
