Terpyridine-metal complexes: effects of different substituents on their physico-chemical properties and density functional theory studies

A series of different substituted terpyridine (tpy)-based ligands have been synthesized by Kröhnke method. Their binding behaviour was evaluated by complexing them with Co(II), Fe(II) and Zn(II) ions, which resulted in interesting coordination compounds with formulae, [Zn(tpy)2]PF6, [Co(tpy)2](PF6)2...
