1,3-diiminoisoindoline (DII) is an important molecule in coordination chemistry. It is known as a precursor forphthalocyanines and hemiporphyrazines, which are N-heterocyclic macrocycles known for their metal binding and photophysical properties. DII also forms tridentate nitrogen donor ligands upon reaction with aromatic amines such as pyridine, imidazole or thiazole; these ligands also possess excellent metal binding properties. In this talk, we will present a series of known and new bis(alkyl)iminoisoindoline compounds. These molecules were synthesized by condensation of diiminoisoline and primary alkylamines. These molecules were fully characterized; their structures and metal binding properties were studied.
