A bis-chelating ligand (1), made of two 1,10-phenanthroline subunits connec
ted with a p(CH2)(2)C6H4(CH2)(2)- spacer through their 4 positions, has bee
n prepared, using Skraup syntheses and reaction of the anion of 4-methyl-7-
anisyl-1, 10-phenanthroline with alpha,alpha -dibromo-pxylene. Complexation
of 1 with Ru(CH3CN)(4)Cl-2 and subsequent reaction with 4,4'-dimethyl-2,2'
-bipyridine afforded an octahedral Ru(II) tris-diimine complex, in which a
well-defined axis running through the terminal anisyl substituents and the
central metal has been created, as shown by an X-ray molecular structure an
alysis. (C) 2001 Academie des sciences / Editions scientifiques et medicale
