Abstract

The ligands 6, 6'-bis [(2-methyl-1, 10-phenanthrolin-9-yl) methylenoxymethylenyl] 2, 2'- bipyridine (1) and 2, 9-bis [(2-methyl-1, 10-phenanthrolin-9-yl) methylenoxymethylenyl]-1, 10- phenanthroline (2) were prepared and shown to self-assemble into double-stranded [(L) 2Cu3] 3+-type helicates upon reaction with Cu+. Although the reaction of 1 with AgCF3SO3 afforded the double-stranded helicate [(1) 2Ag3] 3+, reaction of 2 with this salt yielded a ...
