Synthesis and coordination chemistry of C-substituted 1,4,7-trithiacyclononanes
Abstract
C-Functionalised derivatives of the macrocyclic thioether ligand 1,4,7-trithiacyclononane (9S3), synthesised from 3-thiapentane-1,5-dithiol and a variety of substituted vicinal dibromides, retain the unusual coordination chemistry characteristic of the unsubstituted 9S3 ligand.
