Two ruthenium carbonyl complexes with the 4'-chloro-2,2':6',2''-terpyridine ligand (tpy-Cl, C15H10ClN3), i.e. [RuCl(tpy-Cl)(CO)2][RuCl3(CO)3] (I) [systematic name: cis-di-carbonyl-chlorido(4'-chloro-2,2':6',2''-terpyridine-κ3N)ruthenium(II) fac-tricarbonyltri-chlorido-ruthenate(II)], and [RuCl2(tpy-Cl)(CO)2] (II) [cis-dicarbonyl-trans-di-chlorido(4'-chloro-2,2':6',2''-terpyridine-κ2N1,N1')ruthe...

5,5"-Disubstitution of the terpyridine core leads to the first inherently liquid-crystalline terpyridines. Mesophases characteristic of bent-core and calamitic systems may be obtained depending on the core structure employed.

A terpyridine ligand is covalently linked to a hexamolybdate cluster through the Mo-N imido bond, paving the way for the preparation of hybrids containing covalently bonded transition metal complexes and polyoxometalate clusters.

A novel bis-platinum(II) terpyridine-based macrocycle has been quantitatively obtained by self-assembly; the Pt(II) host binds neutral planar and electron-rich aromatic guests with good selectivity in DMSO.

A Cu(2+) specific metallohydrogel was constructed from a terpyridine-based low molecular weight ligand. The metallohydrogel showed multi-responsive gel-to-sol transitions and pillar[5]arene-induced nanofiber-to-vesicle transformation at the nanoscale.

Hydrogelation behavior of two amino-terpyridine ligands in the presence of divalent metal ions in water was studied in detail. The effect of ligand structure and different counter anions on the gel morphologies was also explored.

Based on our recent studies of RNA cleavage by oligonucleotide-terpyridine.Cu(II) complex 5'- and/or 3'-conjugates, we designed 2'-O-methyloligonucleotides with two terpyridine-attached nucleosides at contiguous internal sites. To connect the 2'-terpyridine-modified uridine residue at the 5'-side to the 5'-O-terpyridyl nucleoside residue at the 3'-side, a dimethoxytrityl derivative of 5-hydroxy...

The title compound, {[NdPt(CN)(4)(NO(3))(C(15)H(11)N(3))(H(2)O)(2)]·CH(3)CN·0.5C(15)H(11)N(3)}(n), was isolated from solution as a one-dimensional coordination polymer. The Nd(3+) site in the structure has a ninefold coordination with a distorted tricapped trigonal-prismatic geometry, while the Pt(II) ion is coordinated by four cyanide groups in an almost regular square-planar geometry. Cis-bri...

2,2?:6?,2??-Terpyridine-4?-carboxylate (tpyc ? ) forms both homo- and heterometallic uranyl ion complexes including a chiral, twofold interpenetrated polymer involving the “expanded ligand” Ni(tpyc) 2 .

A series of oligoaniline-functionalized mono- and bis-topic terpyridine ligands, i.e. C(6)H(5)[N(R)C(6)H(4)](n)TPY (R = H, butyl, tert-butyloxycarbonyl; n = 1-4; TPY = 2,2':6',2''-terpyridyl) and TPYC(6)H(4)[N(R)C(6)H(4)](m)TPY (R = H, tert-butyloxycarbonyl; m = 2, 4), and the corresponding mono- and bis-nuclear ruthenium(II) complexes have been synthesized and verified. The spectroscopic resul...
