Towards technomimetic spoked wheels: dynamic hexakis-heteroleptic coordination at a hexakis-terpyridine scaffold.
The synthesis of hexakis-terpyridine and an expedient approach to its dynamic hexakis-heteroleptic complexes are elaborated, the latter being readily accessible precursors for the construction of technomimetic molecular spoked wheels.
