Ligands and complexes with supramolecular aromatic-aromatic interactions: iron(II) and ruthenium(II) complexes of 2,2':6',2''-terpyridines with pendant naphthalene groups.
The synthesis and characterisation of five new ligands (L), each containing a terpy binding domain and bearing a pendant naphthalene group in the 4'-position are described; homoleptic complexes, [ML2][PF6]4 (M = Fe, Ru) have been studied and structural data for four complexes are reported.
