Synthesis, structure, and metal complexation behavior of a new type of functionalized chiral phenanthroline derivative.
SmI(2) serves as an effective promoter for the coupling of 1,10-phenanthroline with an epoxide to generate a new class of chiral, functionalized ligands that readily form complexes with metals. Structural studies of the resulting phenanthroline derivative and two of its metal complexes are reported.
