Synthesis and solid state structural analysis exo-bisbidentate ligands based on [1.1.1.1]metacyclophane in 1,3-alternate conformation bearing 2,2′-bipyridine or bisquinoline chelates

The synthesis and structural analysis of two new exoligands 1 and 2 based on a [1.1.1.1]-metacyclophane backbone bearing either 2,2′-bipyridine or bisquinoline chelating units have been achieved.
