Abstract: l,2-Bis(2,2'-bipyridinyl)ethylene(1) ligand was synthesized by Wittig-Horner reaction and 1, 2-Bis(2, 2'-bipyridinyl)ethane(2) ligand(which can be obtained via another route ) was prepared by hydrogenation of (1). The formation of complexes of (1) and (2) with copper (I) has been studied. The influence of the different bridge chains (CH=CH, CH2CH2) on complexation is discussed on the basis of 1H NMR spectra.
