S. Dick et A. Weiss, NEW TRIDENTATE LIGANDS OF THE TYPE N-ALKY L-N,N-BIS(2-PYRIDYLMETHYL)AMINE, Zeitschrift fur Naturforschung. B, A journal of chemical sciences, 52(2), 1997, pp. 188-192
New tridentate ligands of the type N-alkyl-N,N-bis(2-pyridylmethyl)ami
ne (alkyl = methyl, benzyl, adamantyl) have been synthesized by reacti
on of alkylamines with 2-(chlor-methyl)pyridine in alkaline solution.
These amines are preferably isolated and stored as perchlorates. The p
erchlorate of the methyl substituted ligand has been crystallized in t
wo modifications that differ in the twisting of the aromatic rings and
in the coordination of the perchlorate anions.
