A short intramolecular hydrogen bond is a key factor in the self-assembly of a dimeric complex with a 22-membered metallamacrocyclic cavity

Abstract

The reaction of copper(II) perchlorate with the new open chain oxime–amide ligand, N,N ′-bis(2-hydroxyiminopropionyl)butane-1,4-diamine (H₂pab) in aqueous solution produced the dimeric complex [Cu(Hpab)]₂[ClO₄]₂·4H₂O containing a 22-membered macrocyclic cavity incorporating two copper(II) ions as a part of the ring framework.
