W. Radeckaparyzek et V. Patroniakkrzyminiewska, THE TEMPLATE SYNTHESIS AND CHARACTERIZATION OF THE NEW MACROCYCLIC SCHIFF-BASE COMPLEXES OF SCANDIUM(III) AND YTTRIUM(III) IONS, Polish Journal of Chemistry, 69(1), 1995, pp. 1-4
The template reaction of 2,6-diacetylpyridine with 3,3'-diaminodipropy
lamine in the presence of scandium(III) chloride and perchlorate produ
ces the 14-membered N4 macrocyclic complexes as a result of [1 + 1] Sc
hiff base cyclocondensation. Under the same reaction conditions yttriu
m(III) nitrate template agent generates the 28-membered N8 [2+2] cyclo
condensation product. The complexes have been characterized by IR, UV-
vis and H-1 NMR data, in addition to elemental and thermogravimetric a
nalyses.
