Metal template synthesis of aqua{2,12-dimethyl-3,7,11,17-tetra-aza-bicyclo[11.3.1]heptadeca-1(17),2,11,13,15-pentaene}ruthenium(II) perchlorate
Abstract
The synthesis and characterization of aqua{2,12-dimethyl-3,7,11,17-tetra-azabicyclo[11.3.1]heptadeca-1(17),2,11,13,15-pentaene}ruthenium(II) perchlorate are described; this is the first example in which ruthenium has been used as a template leading to the formation of a macrocyclic Schiff-base amine.
