Abstract

The palladium-catalyzed amination reaction of commercially available 4′-chloro-2,2′:6′,2′′-terpyridine opens an easy access to aminated mono- and ditopic terpyridine ligands. The obtained compounds were subsequently used to prepare new amine-containing ruthenium(II) polypyridyl complexes.
