A series of 1st and 2nd row transition metal homoletic complexes of 3-PyTpy have been synthesized.
Electrochemical and photophysical properties of these complexes are affected by the pendant 3-pyridyl group.
A 2D-terpyridine embrace is formed for Co(II) and Cu(II)-complexes as PF6 salts.
The terpyridine embrace is converted to 1D-ribbon in Fe(II)-complex as its BPh4 salt.
