R. Dhillon et al., HELICITY INTERCHANGE IN PENDANT ARM TETRAAZA MACROCYCLIC SODIUM(I) COMPLEXES, Journal of the Chemical Society, Chemical Communications, (1), 1995, pp. 97-98
The temperature dependent C-13 NMR spectra of ydroxyethyl)-1,4,10-tetr
aazacyclododecanesodium(1) and its 2-methoxyethyl and (S)-2-hydroxypro
pyl analogues are consistent with helicity interchange of the approxim
ately square antiprismatic isomers occurring much more rapidly than th
e exchange of Na+ between the solvated and complexed states in methano
l in the first two cases, and moderately more so in the last case.
