A new ligand 1 (1,10-phenanthrolin-5-amine, N-(2-fluorenylmethylene)) was synthesized and reacted with group 6 metal carbonyls to form UV activable photoCORMs with the formulation of M(1)(CO)4 (M = Cr, Mo, and W, which correspond to 2, 3, and 4, respectively). All synthesized compounds were characte...
