The C-N bond is crucial for the properties and reactivity of coordination complexes. This paper presents an overview of our work investigating the impact of site-selective benzannulation on the chemistry and properties of phenanthridine as a molecule and ligand.
The C N bond is a critical structural piece of many N-donor ligand scaffolds and is central to the properties and reactivity of important coordination complexes. For example, C N units play a key role in the redox non-innocence of alpha-diimine complexes and in making charge-transfer excited-state character available to complexes of N-heterocyclic ligands such as bipyridine. In N -heterocycles like pyridine, benzannulation can be used to extend the conjugated C N-containing pi-system to quinoline (2,3-benzopyridine) to acridine (2,3-benzoquinoline). This stabilizes the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital of the molecule and boosts its electron-accepting properties, but the position of the benzannulation matters. For example, phenanthridine (3,4-benzoquinoline), an asymmetric isomer of acridine, bears a similarly electronically accessible extended pi-system but with a more chemically isolated imine-like C N moiety. This award paper presents an overview of our work investigating the impact of such site-selective benzannulation on the chemistry and properties of phenanthridine as a molecule and ligand.
