Abstract
The syntheses and characterization of six ditopic ligands which contain polyethyleneoxy-substituted naphthalene spacers connecting two 2,2′:6′,2″-terpyridine metal-binding domains are described. The ligands, L, have been used to prepare two series of ruthenium(II) complexes: linear complexes of type [(tpy)Ru(L)Ru(tpy)] 4+ were prepared as models for polymeric species, and metallomacrocyclic species [Ru n L n ] 2 n+ ( n = 2 or 3). Single crystal structures of a representative ligand and macrocyclic Ru(II) complex are reported.
