Two of the most common bidentate chelating ligands employed in coordination chemistry are 2,2{prime}-bipyridine (bpy) and 1,10-phenanthroline (phen). The latter may be considered as a 3,3{prime}-etheno-bridged derivative of the former. The steric requirements of both ligands are very similar, and differences in the properties of their metal complexes may be mostly attributed to electronic differences arising from the greater electronegativity of phen. The next higher homologue of bpy is 2,2{prime};6,2{double_prime}-terpyridine (tpy), which behave as a tridentate chelator but enjoys many of the same coordination properties as bpy. The coordination chemistry of the analogous 3,3{prime}-etheno-bridged derivatives of tpy has not yet been explored. This report will present the preparation and properties of these derivatives and their complexation with Ru(II).
