Novel synthesis and complex properties of macrocylic tetra-amines appended with phenol as an axial donor
Abstract
A novel annelation method is reported for the synthesis of the axial phenolate co-ordinating cyclam (5) from coumarin and linear tetra-amine (3); the product is similar in structure to macrocyclic polyamine alkaloids and is a good ligand for FeII,III in aqueous solution.
