Selective syntheses of heterobinuclear cobalt(III)–nickel(II) and cobalt(III)–copper(II) complexes with a bimacrocyclic ligand via‘lariat nickel(II) or cobalt(III) complexes’

Abstract

Heterobinuclear Co^III–Ni^II and Co^III–Cu^II complexes with bicyclam [6,6′-bis(1,4,8,11-tetraazacyclotetradecane)]L are selectively synthesized via a mononuclear nickel(II) or cobalt(III) complex with bicyclam ‘lariat nickel(II) or cobalt(III) complexes’.
