Synthesis of asymmetric derivatives of 1,4,7-triazacyclononane and trigonal prismatic Mn(ii) complexes
Abstract
A new route to the asymmetric functionalisation of [9]aneN3 has been achieved via the use of macropolycyclic Schiff-base intermediates; novel trigonal prismatic Mn(II) complexes of these asymmetric ligands have been synthesised and structurally characterised.
