Abstract

Abstract : A novel terpyridine-based, trapezoidal architecture was synthesized by a coordination-driven multicomponent assembly and features three different tpy–M 2+ –tpy bonds (M 2+ = Ru 2+, Fe 2+, and Zn 2+ ) in the macrocyclic ring. Abstract : A novel terpyridine-based, trapezoidal architecture was synthesized by a coordination-driven multicomponent assembly and features three different tpy–M 2+ –tpy bonds (M 2+ = Ru 2+, Fe 2+, and Zn 2+ ) in the macrocyclic ring. This trimetallic macrocycle introduces the construction of polymetallosupramolecular assemblies possessing multiple, differing metal centers in an ordered, predetermined pattern. Characterization was accomplished by NMR spectroscopy, mass spectrometry, and UV-Vis spectroscopy.
