Synthesis and properties of transition metal complexes assembled by coordination to rigid pi-conjugated aryleneethynylene ligands
A new pi-conjugated aryleneethynylene compound with pyrimidine moieties, 2,5-bis(pyrimidine-5-yl-ethynyl)-1,4-didodecyloxybenzene (1), has been prepared using Sonogashira reaction. 1 reacts with Ag (OSO2CF3) to give a polymeric complex 2 in moderate yields.
