4.2. Synthesis of compounds 2, 3 and 4
2,3,6,7,10,11-hexahydroxytriphenylene 1 (HHTP) was prepared
according to the reported procedure [34]. To give compounds 2, 3
and 4, the mixture of HHTP (1 mmol) and K2CO3 (8 mmol) in
50.0 mL of dry acetone was refluxed for 1 h. Then, ethyl bromoa-
cetate, methyl 5-bromovalerate or methyl (4-bromomethyl)
benzoate (8 mmol) upon this solution were added and refluxed for
24 h. The reaction was monitored by TLC. The resulting solution was
allowed to warm up to room temperature. At the end of the reac-
tion, the reaction mixture was filtered and the organic layer was
removed under reduced pressure. The observed solid product was
dissolved in CHCl3 and washed twice with 0.2 N HCl and water. The
combined organic phase was dried over Na2SO4 filtered, and
concentrated under reduced pressure to afford the desired pure
product (2, 3 and 4).

The design and synthesis of novel the carboxylic acid derivatives
of triphenylene as ligand and their Fe/Cr(III)esalophen complexes
have been demonstrated in this report. These complexes are the
examples of complexes bridged by carboxylate anions to the iron
and chromium centers. Their structures were characterized by
means of elemental analysis, 1H NMR, FT-IR spectroscopy, thermal
analysis and magnetic susceptibility measurements. The magnetic
data for the complexes show well agreement with the d5 and d3
metal ion in an octahedral structure. It may be possible to try to test
these triphenylene based Fe/Cresalophen complexes as antibacte-
rial, antitubercular, antifungal and anticoagulant activity. In other
words, further studies on the complexation reactions and catalytic
activity of the prepared complexes on model reactions will be
carried out soon.

4.3. Synthesis of compound 5, 6 and 7
A mixture of compounds 2, 3 or 4 (1.0 mmol) and 15% aqueous
sodium hydroxide (13 mL, 6 mmol) in ethanol (50 mL) was refluxed
for 24 h. Ethanol was distilled off and the residue was diluted with
water (50 mL). HCl (3 mol Lꢀ1) was added to the resulting
suspension until pH 1 was reached. The solid was filtered off and
dissolved in chloroform (50 mL). This solution was washed with
HCl (3 mol Lꢀ1, 30 mL) and brine (30 mL). The organic layer was
dried over MgSO4 and concentrated to afford compounds 5, 6 or 7.

All starting materials and reagents used were of standard
analytical grade from Fluka, Merck as well as from Aldrich and used
without further purification. [{Fe(salophen)}2O] and [{Cr(salo-
phen)}2O] were prepared according to previously published
methods [30,33]. Melting points were measured using a Buchi B-
540 melting point apparatus. 1H NMR spectra were recorded on
a Varian 400 MHz spectrometer at room temperature. Thermal
gravimetric analysis (TG) was carried out with Seteram thermog-
ravimetric analyzer. The sample weight was 15e16 mg. Analysis
was performed from room temperature to 900 ꢁC at heating rate of
15 ꢁC/min in argon atmosphere with a gas flow rate of 20 mL/min.
The elemental analysis for the ligand and the bridged complexes
were carried out at on a HewlettePackard 185 analyzer. FT-IR
spectra were recorded using a Mattson-1000 FT-IR using KBr
pellets. Magnetic susceptibilities of metal complexes were deter-
mined using a Sheerwood Scientific MX Gouy magnetic suscepti-
bility apparatus carried out using the Gouy method with Hg
