Abstract:

The 6,69-disubstituted 2,29-bipyridines and oligo(bipyridines) functionality and reasonable solubility behavior. These are often used as ligands in supramolecular chemistry; molecules permit the synthesis of a wide range of however, their range of application has been limited due to functionalized oligo(bipyridines) with new potential the lack of unsymmetrically functionalized compounds and applications in supramolecular chemistry and materials their poor solubility. We describe herein a new generation of science. As initial examples, we present the synthesis of specially designed unsymmetrical bipyridine building blocks mono- and bis-functionalized bis- and tris-2,29-biypridines. possessing different protecting groups for the hydroxy
