| Abstract: | The synthesis, crystal structure, and biological activity of new bis‐cyclometalated compounds M(ptpy)2(4‐chloro‐2‐methyl‐1,8‐naphthyridine)]PF6 M = Rh ( 1 ); M = Ir ( 2 ); ptpy = 2‐(p‐tolyl)pyridinato] and M(ptpy)2(2‐methyl‐1,8‐naphthyridine)]PF6 M = Rh ( 3 ); M = Ir ( 4 )] are described. The new compounds were prepared by the reaction of {M(μ‐Cl)(ptpy)2}2] (M = Rh, Ir) with the corresponding naphthyridine ligands. The molecular structures of compounds 1 , 3 , and 4 were confirmed by single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction studies. |
