In the title compound, [Zn(C(14)H(8)O(5))(C(15)H(11)N(3))](n), both the Zn(II) ion and the oxydibenzoate ligand are located on a twofold rotation axis. The Zn(II) centre is coordinated by three N atoms from a chelating 2,2':6',2''-terpyridine ligand and two O atoms from two 2,2'-oxydibenzoate ligands, forming a distorted trigonal-bipyramidal coordination environment. Further coordination via th...

In the title compound, [FeIr(C5H5)(C20H14N3)Cl3]·2CH3CN, the central Ir(III) atom is sixfold coordinated by three chloride ligands and three terpyridine N atoms in a slightly distorted octa-hedral fashion. The terpyridine ligand is functionalized at the 4'-position with a ferrocenyl group, the latter being in an eclipsed conformation. In the crystal, mol-ecules are stacked in rows parallel to [...

Alkylated terpyridine ligands are an increasingly important component of catalysis and dyes but are costly because their synthesis is challenging and often low-yielding. We report an improved method for the Pd/C-catalyzed dehydrogenative coupling of 4-picoline to form the bi- and terpyridine. The addition of MnO2 improves the yield of the reaction, making the reaction useful on a large scale (u...

In conjunction with quenching metal ions, silica nanoparticles carrying terpyridine coordination sites and sulforhodamine B signalling units were employed for the differential fluorometric recognition of anions.

The terpyridine ligand directly attached to the 5-position of a uridine allows metal-mediated DNA assembly towards potentially electronically coupled DNA conjugates.

An efficient coupling reaction of epoxides with CO2 affording cyclic carbonates with the use of 2,2',2''-terpyridine as catalyst under solvent-free conditions has been developed.

The encapsulation behaviour and the resulting transition metal ion sensing capabilities of a 5-arm star-shaped polymer bearing terpyridine ligands on its periphery are described.

A simple coordination complex terpyridine-CuCl(2) is found to be an efficient fluorescent sensor for histidine in aqueous solution with up to 1004 fold fluorescence enhancement.

Primary alcohols can be coupled with secondary benzylic alcohols by an air-stable catalytic system involving terpyridine ruthenium or iridium complexes.

a graphene oxide-terpyridine conjugate (gotc) based colorimetric and fluorescent nano-chemosensor was synthesized. it showed high selectivity and sensitivity for fe2+ and fe3+ ions in neutral aqueous solution over other metal ions such as li+, na+, ba2+, ca2+, al3+, cd2+, co2+, cu2+, hg2+, mn2+, ni2+, pb2+, zn2+, cr3+ and ag+. in absorption spectra, upon addition of fe2+ or fe3+, the sensor dis...
