Abstract

A 3× 3 matrix of manisyl (4-methoxy-2, 6-dimethylphenyl) substituted pyridyl-1, 10- phenanthrolines has been synthesized by utilizing a general palladium catalyzed cross- coupling procedure. The directionality of these terdentate ligands will generate chiral octahedral ML2 complexes, potentially useful for the metal templated synthesis of topologically chiral structures.
