Double-helical complexes from simple 2,2′ : 6′,2″-terpyridines; the crystal and molecular structure [Cu2(Ph2tpy)2][PF6]2(Ph2tpy = 6,6″-diphenyl-2,2′ : 6′,2″-terpyridine)
Abstract
2,2′:6′,2″-Terpyridines from dinuclear complexes with copper(I) which are double-helical; the introduction of 6-phenyl substituents stabilises the helicate, and the crystal and molecular structure of [Cu2(Ph2tpy)2][PF6]2 described.
