Strategies for the preparation of multinuclear complexes containing homoditopic and heteroditopic ligands based upon 2,2′-bipyridine (bpy) and 2,2′:6′,2″-terpyridine metal binding domains are presented. Both conventional approaches based upon preparation of a free ligand and subsequent coordination and metal-directed reactions of coordinated ligands are utilized in the various strategies. A representative series of complexes of these ligands has been prepared.
