Abstract

Abstract Sterically hindering bidentate chelates, such as 2, 9-diphenyl-1, 10-phenanthroline, form entwined complexes with copper (I) and other tetrahedrally coordinated transition-metal centres. To prepare octahedral complexes containing two entwined tridentate ligands and thus apply a strategy similar to that used for making catenanes with tetrahedral metal centres, the use of the classical terpy ligand (terpy= 2, 2′: 6′, 2′′-terpyridine) appears ...
