Convenient synthesis of bis-bipyridines and bis-terpyridines bridged by phenyl and biphenyl tethers

Article abstract of DOI:10.1080/00397919408020779

A simple three step preparation of phenyl bridged bis-2,2'-bipyridine and bis-2,2':6',2''-terpyridine from readily available reagents is described. The compounds have the potential to serve as rigid bridging ligands for the preparation of redox and photoactive supramolecular complexes of transition metals.
