Abstract

Construction of a Soluble Heptacyclic Terpyridine Summary: A new synthesis of the quino[8,7-b][1,10]- phenanthroline nucleus is reported, allowing the intro- duction of solubilizing substituents and saturated terminal rings. ... Sir: The useful complexation properties of 2,2'-bipyridine and 2,2':6',2''-terpyridine have stimulated interest in higher polypyridine homologues.' Despite the utility of 1,lO- phenanthroline as a ligand,* synthetic difficulties have limited access to ...
