A new class of macrocycle capable of binding exogenous metals: synthesis, structure, magnetic and electrochemical properties of a Cu(II) trinuclear complex based upon 1,4,8,11-tetraazacyclotetradecane-2,3-dione [exoO2]cyclam
†
Abstract
Synthesis of the new macrocycle 1,4,8,11-tetraazacyclo-tetradecane-2,3-dione [exo02]cyclam and its complexation with copper(II) ion via the tetraaza groups and linkd together through a copper(II) ion coordinated to the exo-cis oxygen donors of each macrocycle.
