The experimental procedure follows a protocol developed by Sonogashira [1]. All reactions were carried out under an atmosphere of dry argon by using standard Schlenk tube techniques. To a mixture of 3-ethynyl-[1,10]phenanthroline (309 mg, 1.50 mmol), 1,4-diiodobenzene (2.47 g, 7.50 mmol), CuI (225 mg, 1.77 mmol) and [PdCl2(PPh3)2] (75.0 mg, 99.7 m mol) in dry benzene (25 mL) and dry NEt3 (10 mL). The reaction mixture was kept at 80 °C for 22 h while stirring vigorously. After removal of the solvent the residue was washed with aqueous KCN (2%, 30 mL) and purified by column chromatography (SiO2, CHCl3, Rf = 0.21) to furnish 3-(4-iodo-phenylethynyl)-[1,10]phenanthroline as a yellow solid (122 mg, 20%).
