Abstract:

A rigid terpyridine ligand containing chiral alkyl chains has been synthesized, characterized and subsequently complexed with ruthenium(II) ions. The product was characterized by MALDI-TOF-MS, UV–vis and NMR. Circular dichroism showed the appearance of extended helical columnar aggregates.
