Abstract

A large variety of rigid, π-conjugated, pyridine ring functionalized bis-terpyridines are synthesized efficiently using tandem Miyaura/Suzuki-type cross-coupling reaction. Photophysical property study reveals that the absorption and luminescent properties of the obtained bis-terpyridines are profoundly affected by the nature of the functional groups at the peripheral pyridine and the spacers. Namely, by tailoring precisely the structures, the light- ...
