4′-(pyridyl)-2,2′:6′,2″-Terpyridine ligands: discrete metal complexes and their polymeric assemblies as a function of N-pyridyl substitution patterns

Design of novel copper(II) and zinc(II) coordination polymers based on the 4′-functionalized terpyridines

“…These complexes have been studied for their applications including photosensitizers, DNA metallo-intercalators, medicinal chemistry and molecular self assembly for decades [8][9][10][11][12][13][14]. We have recently reported that for the formation of chalcogeno-acetylene by copper(I)-terpyridine catalyst, a mixture of copper(I) iodide and atpy results in the best performance among a series of copper(I) salts [3].…”

Self-Assembly with 2,6-Bis(1-(pyridin-4-ylmethyl)-1H-1,2,3-triazol-4-yl)pyridine: Silver(I) and Iron(II) Complexes

“…In particular, classical 2,2-bipyridine (bipy) and 2,2′:6′,2″-terpyridine (terpy) chelators conjugated to pyridyl units have received considerable attention ( Figure 1 A–D). The chelate effect leads to the initial complexation of a metal ion within the bidentate or tridentate pocket of the ligands, while the addition of a second equivalent of the same or a different metal ion generates either discrete [ 18 , 19 , 20 , 21 ] or polymeric [ 22 , 23 , 24 , 25 , 26 , 27 , 28 ] metallosupramolecular assemblies.…”
