The 1,10-phenanthrolinium cation is introduced as a new building block for the design of ionic liquid crystals. 1,10-Phenanthroline, 5-methyl-1,10-phenanthroline, 5-chloro-1,10-phenanthroline, and 4,7-diphenyl-1,10-phenanthroline were quaternized by reaction with 1,3-dibromopropane or 1,2-dibromoethane. The resulting cations were combined with dodecyl sulfate or dioctyl

Fifteen platinum(II)-based metallointercalators have been synthesised that utilise substituted 1,10-phenanthroline (phen) ligands, including 5-chloro-1,10-phenanthroline (5-Cl-phen), 5-methyl-1,10-phenanthroline (5-CH3-phen), 5-amino-1,10-phenanthroline (5-NH2-phen), 5-nitro-1,10-phenanthroline (5-NO2-phen) and dipyrido[3,2-d:2',3'-f]quinoxaline (dpq), and achiral ethylenediamine (en) and the chiral ancillary ligands 1S,2S-diaminocyclohexane (S,S-dach) and 1R,2R-diaminocyclohexane (R,R-dach).
