Abstract

Variously substituted coordinating rigid rods have been synthesized which incorporate a central 4, 7-phenanthroline nucleus attached to two 2-pyridyl groups via its 3 and 8 positions, so as to yield bis-bidentate chelates, the two-coordinating axes of the chelates being parallel to one another. Regardless of the nature of the substituents borne by the rods, the copper (I)-induced threading reaction of two such rods through the rings of two bis- ...
