Alkyne-containing chelating ligands: synthesis, properties and metal coordination of 1,2-di(quinolin-8-yl)ethyne

Dalton Trans. 2006 May 21:(19):2288-90. doi: 10.1039/b603983a. Epub 2006 Apr 6.

Abstract

A new alkyne-containing chelating ligand, 1,2-di(quinolin-8-yl)ethyne, is shown to form a mononuclear 1:1 complex with silver(I) and chelate the metal ion through both nitrogens and the ethyne moiety as seen by UV and NMR spectroscopy as well as X-ray crystallography.
