B. Cathala et al., BIBRACCHIAL DIAZATETRALACTAMS - STRUCTURE AND MOLECULAR MODELING OF CALCIUM COMPLEXES, Journal of molecular structure, 385(3), 1996, pp. 167-174
Doubly-armed diazatetralactams constitute a new series of easily synth
esized tetralactams. The structural study of the calcium complexes of
their N,N'-dimethyl acetamido and (2-pyridylmethyl) derivatives was pe
rformed by IR, H-1, C-13 NMR spectroscopies and molecular modeling. Th
ese complexes showed a C-2 symmetry and a high number (8-9) of coordin
ation around the calcium atom.
