Ligands and complexes with supramolecular aromatic-aromatic interactions: iron(II) and ruthenium(II) complexes of 2,2 ':6 ',2 ''-terpyridines with pendant naphthalene groups

摘要

The synthesis and characterisation of five new ligands ( L), each containing a terpy binding domain and bearing a pendant naphthalene group in the 4'-position are described; homoleptic complexes, [ML2][PF6](4) ( M = Fe, Ru) have been studied and structural data for four complexes are reported.
