Abstract

Syntheses are reported for the following transition metal complexes of derivatives of 2, 2′∶ 6′, 2 ″-terpyridine,[ReBr (CO) 3L](L= mcpt, mcpmt, mmtt or bmtt),[PtIMe3 (mcpt)],[Pd (C6F5) 2 (mcpt)] and [Pt (C6F5) 2 (mcpt)] where mcpt= 4-methyl-4′-(4-chlorophenyl)-2, 2′∶ 6′, 2 ″-terpyridine, mcpmt= 4-methyl-4′-(4-chlorophenyl)-4 ″-methyl-2, 2′∶ 6′, 2 ″-terpyridine, mmtt= 4-methyl-4′-methylthio-2, 2′∶ 6′, 2 ″-terpyridine and bmtt= 4- ...
