Rigid linear and star-shaped pi-conjugated 2,2':6',2"-terpyridine ligands with blue emission.
A series of rigid linear and star-shaped pi-conjugated 2,2':6',2"-terpyridine derivatives with the C-C single-, double-, and triple-bond linkages have been developed through the Suzuki, the Sonogashira, and the Wittig reactions. Such large rigid ligands exhibit strong blue emission in dilute solutions. [structure: see text]
