Synthesis and Characterization of Lead(II) Complex with a Terpyridine Derivative Ligand

The complexes containing terpyridine derivatives have been widely studied. Terpyridine complexes may be used in photochemistry to design fluorescent devices or as sensors for converting light to electricity. In clinical chemotherapy and biochemistry, functional therapeutic agents have received a wide range of potential uses from colorimetric determination to DNA bonding materials and anti-tumor research [1]. In this project (4′-(3-pyridile)- 2,2′:6′,2″-terpyridine) was synthesized. On the other hand lead has attracted much attention among the metals in the main group. Not only because of biological activity, but also because of its great radius, variable stereo chemical activity and flexible coordination, which provides unique opportunities for obtaining new coordination mode [2]. In this study the aim is preparation and identification of lead(II) complex with a ligand of the derivatives of the terpyridine. The ligand and the complex were evaluated by different spectroscopy methods.
