Crystals of the title compound, C(12)H(8)N(2)·C(7)H(8)O(2), were obtained during cocrystallization experiments of a compound with two hydrogen-bond donors (2-hydroxy-benzyl alcohol) with another compound containing two hydrogen-bond acceptors (phenanthroline). Unexpectedly, the two mol-ecules do not form dimers with two O-H⋯N hydrogen bonds connecting the two mol-ecules. However, one of the hyd...

A highly emissive copper(I) complex bearing (4R,5R)-(-)-4,5-bis(diphenylphosphinomethyl)-2,2-dimethyl-1,3-dioxolane (diop) and 2,9-dimethyl-4,7-diphenyl-1,10-phenanthroline (dmpp), [Cu(dmpp)(diop)]PF6 (1·PF6), was newly synthesized. The quantum yield of the luminescence of 1·PF6 in degassed dichloromethane is 0.38, which is one of the highest values among all copper(I) complexes bearing two bid...

In the centrosymmetric dinuclear title complex, [Cu(2)(C(5)H(6)O(4))(2)(C(12)H(18)N(2))(2)(H(2)O)(2)], the Cu(II) atom displays a dis-torted square-pyramidal coordination environment with the basal plane occupied by two phenanthroline N atoms and two O atoms from different glutarate dianions while a water mol-ecule is located at the apical position. Of the two water H atoms, one is engaged in a...

In the title binuclear complex, [Fe(2)(C(8)H(7)O(2))(4)(C(12)H(8)N(2))(2)(H(2)O)], the Fe(II) ion is six-coordinated by three carboxylate O atoms from three 4-methyl-benzoate ligands, two N atoms from two 1,10-phenanthroline ligands and one bridging aqua ligand in a distorted octa-hedral geometry. The coordinated water mol-ecule acting as the bridging ligand is located on a twofold axes and the...

The sterically shielded terpyridine was prepared, both as a new ligand and as part of the four-station nanoscaffold . Mixing of terpyridine , the parent phenanthroline and the shielded phenanthroline in the presence of Zn(2+) (1 : 1 : 1 : 1) furnished quantitatively the inverse HETTAP complex [Zn()()](2+) by self-sorting, while in the presence of Cu(+) the HETPHEN complex [Cu()()](+) was prefer...

The asymmetric unit of the title complex [Cu(C14H12N2)2]2[Fe(CN)5(NO)], consists of a [Cu(dmp)2](+) cation (dmp is 2,9-dimethyl-1,10-phenanthroline) and half an [Fe(CN)5(NO)](2-) anion. The anion is disordered across an inversion center with the Fe(II) ion slightly offset (ca 0.205Å) from the inversion center in the direction of the disordered trans-coordinating CN/NO ligands. The anion has a d...

The new macrocyclic ligand 1,9(4,7)-diphenanthroline-3,7,11,15-tetraazacyclohexadecaphane (L) was synthesized by a 2 : 2 reaction of 1,10-phenanthroline-4,7-dialdehyde with 1,3-diaminopropane, followed by reduction with NaBH(4). L contains two phenanthroline groups linked together by two 1,3-diaminopropane chains in such a way that the heteroaromatic nitrogen atoms point outside the ligand cavi...

Four novel diimine rhenium(I) carbonyl complexes with the formula [Re(CO)3(L)Br], where L = 2-(4-(9H-carbazol-9-yl)phenyl)-1H-imidazo[4,5-f][1,10]phenanthroline (P1), 2-(4-(3,6-di-tert-butyl-9H-carbazol-9-yl)phenyl)-1H-imidazo-[4,5-f][1,10]phenanthroline (P2), 2-(4-(6-(9H-carbazol-9-yl)-9H-3,9-bicarbazol-9-yl)phenyl)-1H-imidazo[4,5-f][1,10]phenanthroline (D1), and 2-(4-(3',6'-di-tert-butyl-6-(3...

In an effort to discover potential alternatives to the anti-cancer drug cisplatin, the synthesis of gold(III) polypyridyl coordination complexes was pursued. Specifically, this report describes the synthesis and characterization of a series of 2,9-dialkyl-1,10-phenanthroline (Rphen) gold(III) coordination complexes (R = n-butyl, sec-butyl, and tert-butyl). Due to the steric hindrance imparted b...
