Self-assembly of a novel 14-membered metallamacrobicycle containing two chromium(III) ions as part of the ring skeleton
Abstract
A metallamacrocycle, [LCrIIIµ-{(Hdmg)2(dmg)}CrIIIL](ClO4)2·MeOH (L = 1,4,7-trimethyl-1,4,7-triazacyclononane; dmg = dianion of dimethylglyoxime), is synthesized by a one-step high yield template reaction and characterized by X-ray crystallography and magnetic susceptibility measurements.
