Template synthesis of a novel macrobicyclic ligand and the crystal structure of its unique dinuclear copper(I) complex
Abstract
The condensation of a tris(3-aminopropyl)amine with benzene-1,3-dicarbaldehyde in the presence of AgNO3 produces the dinuclear silver(I) complex of an octa-aza hexa Schiff's base macrobicyclic ligand, which is converted to a unique dinuclear copper(I) hexa Schiff's base cryptate complex by transmetallation.
