Abstract

The novel bipyridine–terpyridine–phenazine ligand 6-pyrid-(tetrapyrido[2,3-a:2′,3′-c:3′′,2′′-h:2′′′,3′′′-j]phenazine (I) was prepared by condensation reaction of 5,6-diamino-l,10-phenanthroline (4) and 2-(pyrid-2′-yl)-1,10-phenanthroline-5,6-dione (6) and characterized using conventional methods. Poor solubility of the ligand led us to the preparation of its Ru(II) complexes to investigate the change in its solubility for further characterizing the ligand on the metal ion. [Ru(ttp)(I)](PF6)2 complex was prepared using the reaction of the ligand (I) and [Ru(ttp)Cl3] complex, where ttp is 4′-(4-Methylphenyl)-2,2′:6′,2′′-terpyridine. A different route for the preparation of [Ru(ttp)(I)](PF6)2 was introduced. Synthesis of the ligand (I) on the complex by a condensation reaction of [Ru(ttp)(6)](PF6)2, where ligand (6) is 2-(pyrid-2′-yl)-1,10-phenanthroline-5,6-dione, with 5,6-diamino-l,10-phenanthroline (4) was conducted. The spectroscopic measurements of both products which have been obtained through the two different routes were compared. We observed that the NMR, LC-MS, and UV spectra of the both products were identical.
