Abstract
The preparation and characterization of 5,6-substituted-1,10-phenanthrolines, phdtos = 5,6-bistosyl-1,10-phenanthroline (1) and phdbt = 5,6-dibenzyltiol-1,10-phenanthroline (2) are described. The synthesis of (1) was achieved in good yield via the corresponding dihydroxide and 2 was obtained by cross-coupling reaction of 5,6-dibromo-1,10-phenanthroline and benzylthiol mediated by a palladium catalytic system in refluxing toluene (120 degrees C). These phenanthroline derivatives were used as ligands to afford [Fe-II(phdtos)(3)](PF6)(2) (5) and [Fe-II(phdbt)(3)](PF6)(2) (6) complexes.
