Abstract

As building blocks for metallo-supramolecular polymers, novel, unsymmetrical, monosubstituted bis-terpyridine derivatives with one electron-donating (OMe) or electron-withdrawing (CN or COOMe) group have been synthesized via the Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reaction. This method is quick, efficient and suitable for the introduction of various substituents at the periphery of pyridine.

Key words

terpyridines - bis-terpyridines - oxidation - borylation - Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling
