Rigid pi-Conjugated Mono-, Bis-, and Tris(2,2':6',2''-terpyridines)

Winter, Andreas; Egbe, Daniel A. M.; Schubert, Ulrich S.

Abstract:

A set of rigid, pi-conjugated linear mono- and bisterpyridines and star-shaped tristerpyridines have been synthesized using Pd(0)-catalyzed coupling reactions and the Horner-Wadsworth-Emmons reaction. The terpyridyl ligands obtained feature strong emission in the blue range with high quantum yields in dilute solution and thin films.
