Simple Solubilization of the Traditional 2,2′:6′,2′′-Terpyridine Ligand­ in Organic Solvents by Substitution with 4,4′′-Di-tert-butyl Groups

Abstract

A simple one-pot procedure is described for the synthesis and purification of 4′-substituted 4,4′′-di-tert-butyl-2,2′:6′,2′′-terpyridine ligands. The new series of ligand display improved solubility in most organic solvents in comparison to traditional 2,2′:6′,2′′-terpyridine ligands.

Key words

terpyridine - tert-butyl - tridentate ligand - one-pot synthesis - coordination chemistry
