45. It must be emphasized that the poor solubility expected of larger ligand architectures may not necessarily hamper the processibility and usefulness of the resulting metal complexes. In the case of ligand scaffolds coordinated by charge-neutral metal complexes, ancillary metal-bound ligands may act as the solubilizing components. For ionic complexes, the coûterions may endow solubility-enhancing properties to the resulting superstructure.

63. If the Sonogashira and Negishi cross-coupling reactions with 13a and 12a, respectively, are performed using 2-bromo-5-iodopyridine in place of 9, then chemoselectivity is lost and product mixtures are obtained, which arise from reaction at both the 2- and 5-pyridine ring positions.

69. Yield reductions have also been observed in the Sonogashiratype synthesis of a phenyl-l,2-bis(meso-ethynylporphyrin) system:

73. The bis- and tris-5-(2-chloropyridines) incorporating ethyne moieties in their bridges will be expected to experience an increased electronic communication between the 2-chloro groups of the terminal pyridine rings in the case of 5a and 5f, and to a lesser extent 6-8. The 2-chloro groups of the 5-(2-chloropyridines) 5f,g, and 6-8 would also be strongly electronically linked to the bridging phenyl and biphenyl rings. Both situations would result in a net electronwithdrawing effect upon the 2-chloro substituents of 5a, 5f,g, and 6-8. It is well documented that the rates and yields of Stille cross-coupling reactions with aryl- and vinyltrialkyltin reagents are enhanced by the presence of electron-withdrawing substituents on the aryl-halide component. See for example: (a) Stille, J. K. Angew. Chem., Int. Ed. Engl. 1986,25, 516
74. (b) McKean, D. R.; Parrinello, G.; Renaldo, A. F.; Stille, J. K. J. Org. Chem. 1987, 52, 422. The lower reactivity of 5b and 5c toward double Stille cross-couplings with 18b may therefore result from a lack of reactivity enhancement of the chlorine groups, due to poorer electronic communication through the phenyl and biphenyl bridges. In this case, catalyst decomposition effectively competes with bis-5-(2,2'-bipyridine) formation.
