Reference of 4-(p-Tolyl)-2,2:6,2-terpyridine. So far, in addition to halogen atoms, other non-metallic atoms can become part of the aromatic heterocycle, and the target ring system is still aromatic. Compound: 4-(p-Tolyl)-2,2:6,2-terpyridine, is researched, Molecular C22H17N3, CAS is 89972-77-0, about Self-assembly of nanocrystalline tetra-terpyridine complexes: from molecules to mesoscopic objects.
We report the properties of a shape-persistent tetra-terpyridine ligand whose coordination to transition metal ions guides its three-dimensional self-assembly in two steps: at first, nanoscale objects form, which with time, self-assemble into micrometer structures. This work highlights the potential for control of the mol. self-assembly of mols. on the nanoscale, and the successive self-assembly of the formed supramol. nanosystems to yield mesoscopic objects.
In addition to the literature in the link below, there is a lot of literature about this compound(4-(p-Tolyl)-2,2:6,2-terpyridine)Reference of 4-(p-Tolyl)-2,2:6,2-terpyridine, illustrating the importance and wide applicability of this compound(89972-77-0).
