Abstract |
Hexaarylbenzene (HAB) systems have been utilized for developing highly symmetric complexes, which can be applicable to multimetallic complexes, supramolecular materials and metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) for the past decades. Among them, pyridyl derivatized HABs are of great interest due to their ability to coordinate to several metal centers in various binding modes. Nevertheless, rigid and highly symmetric hexa(2-pyridyl)benzene (2-HPB) molecules have not been explored for those interesting applications, possibly due to the synthetic difficulty of hexa(2-pyridyl)benzene. Here we present the synthesis and characterization of 2-HPB and its derivative, and a variety of corresponding coordination complexes with various metal ions including their solution behaviors and luminescence properties. Further potential applications to utilize the coordination complexes of 2-HPB will be discussed. |
