title: Synthesis of new pyrrole-pyridine-based ligands using an in situ Suzuki coupling method.
abstract: The compounds 6-(pyrrol-2-yl)-2,2'-bipyridine, 2-(pyrrol-2-yl)-1,10-phenanthroline and 2-(2-(N-methylbenz[d,e]imidazole)-6-(pyrrol-2-yl)-pyridine were synthesized by using an in situ generated boronic acid for the Suzuki coupling. Crystals of the products could be grown and exhibited interesting structures by X-ray analysis, one of them showing a chain-like network with the adjacent molecules linked to each other via intermolecular N-H(…)N hydrogen bonds.
