Synthesis of Rigid <i>π</i>‐Conjugated Mono‐, Bis‐, Tris‐, and Tetrakis(terpyridine)s: Influence of the Degree and Pattern of Substitution on the Photophysical Properties (Eur. J. Org. Chem. 6/2009)

Abstract The cover picture shows the bright photoluminescence properties of oligo(terpyridine) derivatives in dilute solution and in thin solid films. The photophysical properties of the materials depend on the number of π ‐conjugated terpyridine moieties attached to the central phenyl core as well as on the substitution pattern. Details are discussed in the article by U. S. Schubert et al. on p. 801 ff.
