Phenanthroline–dipyrromethene conjugates: synthesis, characterization, and spectroscopic investigations

Mono- and tri-topic ligands, based on dipyrromethenes and the 1,10-phenanthroline nucleus, as well as BF2 complexes derived thereof are described. While BODIPY 12 has been X-ray crystallographically characterized, the structural features of the free ligands 9 and 10 may render them useful as precursors for the elaboration of novel supramolecular architectures.

Full experimental details on the synthesis of angular building blocks based on dipyrromethenes and the 1,10-phenanthroline nucleus are described.Figure optionsDownload as PowerPoint slide
