Stacked amido macrocyclic complexes: synthesis and single crystal X-ray structure of Na[Cu(L)(NCMe)](BF4)2(NO3)[L = 1-formyl-4,7-bis(2-hydroxy-2-methylpropyl)-1,4,7-triazacyclononane]
Abstract
The synthesis of bi-functional derivatives of [9]aneN3 is described; the structure of Na[Cu(L)(NCMe)](BF4)2(NO3) shows a central [Na(BF4)2]– core with the O-donor of the amide moiety of successive [Cu(L)(NCMe)]2+ cations bound Na+ to give a stacked structure.
