Journal Article · · Dalton Transactions
DOI:https://doi.org/10.1039/C7DT02476B· OSTI ID:1402055

In this report we describe the synthesis of a new phenanthroline ligand, 2,9-di(2,4,6-tri-isopropyl-phenyl)-1,10-phenanthroline (bL2) and its use as the blocking ligand in the preparation of two new heteroleptic Cu(i)diimine complexes.
