New chiral oligopyridines-4,4'-bis(disaccharide)-functionalised 2,2'-bipyridines and 4'-(disaccharide)-functionalised 2,2':6',2''-terpyridines.
A new class of oligopyridine ligands bearing disaccharides linked to the 4- and 4'-positions of a 2,2'-bipyridine or the 4'-position of a 2,2':6',2''-terpyridine metal-binding domain are described. Representative ligands with furanosylfuranose and pyranosylpyranose (cellobiose) substituents have been prepared.
