title: Synthesis, X-ray structure, and self-assembly of functionalized bis(2,2':6',2' '-terpyridinyl)arenes.
abstract: meta-Bis(terpyridinyl)phenol has been synthesized from O-benzyl-3,5-di(formyl)phenol in three steps. Its alkylation afforded a series of bisterpyridinylarenes, which can be self-assembled to afford the corresponding hexametallomacrocycles possessing Fe(II), Zn(II), or Ru(II) connectivity.
