This journal is The Royal Society of Chemistry 213 1. Experimental All commercially available starting materials, reagents and solvents were used as supplied, unless otherwise stated, and were purchased from Aladdin, Acros Organics and Puyang Huicheng Chemical Co. Ltd. All reactions were carried out under a dry nitrogen atmosphere unless water was used as a solvent or reagent and the temperatures were measured externally. THF was dried using sodium wire and benzophenone indicator. Reported yields are isolated yields. Purification of most intermediates and all final products was accomplished in most cases by gravity column chromatography, using silica gel. For qualitative purity tests of all intermediates and final products, a single spot (visualised using UV-light at 254 nm and 365 nm) was obtained. Elemental analysis was used for quantitative purity checks of all final products. 1- H NMR spectra are reported in parts per million (PPM) relative to tetramethylsilane as an internal standard. KCl, NaCl, AlCl 3, MgCl 2, CdCl 2, AgNO 3, InCl 3, PbCl 2, CaCl 2, Zn(CH 3 COO) 2, FeCl 2, FeCl 3, CuCN, CuCl 2, SnCl 2 and LiCl NaNO 3, NaNO 2, CH 3 COONa, Na 2 SO 4 were of analytical grade.

Mass Spectrometry: Agilent (11 LC/MSD Trap), MALDI-TOF Elemental Analysis: Elementar (Vario Micro-cube). (b) SYNTHESIS Synthesis of 3-bromo-1,1-phenanthroline(1)and 3,8-dibromo-1,1-phenanthroline(2) 1 and 2 were synthesis by one reaction in the following procedure: A solution of 1, 1-phenanthroline (5.g, 21.3mmol) in nitrobenzene (1mL) was heated to 13-14 in a 1mL 3-neck flask. Bromine (6.82g, 42.6mmol in 5mL nitrobenzene) was added drop-wise over a period of 1h. Upon the addition of bromine, 1, 1-phenanthroline was added into the reacting solution. After stirring for 3h at the same temperature, the reaction mixture was cooled to room temperature, treated with concentrated ammonium hydroxide (5mL) and extracted with DCM (3 25mL). The combined organic layers were washed with water (3 25mL), dried (MgSO 4 ) and filtered. Concentration in vacuum afforded a suspension of the products in nitrobenzene. The nitrobenzene was removed by dissolving the suspension in DCM (5mL). The mixture was purified by column chromatography using DCM: EA=1:1 as eluent. 1 and 2 were obtained successfully with yield 42% and 35%. 1 H-NMR (4MHz, CDCl 3, ppm) for 1: δ9.19 (d, J=2.4Hz, 2H), δ8.42 (d, J=2Hz, 1H), δ8.28(t, J=2Hz, 1H), δ7.86(d, J=9.2Hz, 1H), δ7.74(d, J=8.8Hz, 1H), δ7.69(m, 1H) ESI (+)-MS: Calcd for C 12 H 7 BrN 2 :259.1 [M], found 258.8 and 26.7 [M+H] + 1 H-NMR (4MHz, CDCl 3, ppm) for 2: δ9.19 (d, J=2.4Hz, 2H), δ 8.42(d, J=2.4Hz, 2H), δ7.77(s, 2H) ESI (+)-MS: Calcd for C 12 H 6 Br 2 N 2 :338 [M], found 338.9 [M+H] + Page 3 / 4
