M. Harata et al., SYNTHESIS AND STRUCTURE OF A NEW TRIPODAL POLYPYRIDINE COPPER(II) COMPLEX THAT ENABLES TO RECOGNIZE A SMALL-MOLECULE, Chemistry Letters, (1), 1995, pp. 61-62
With a view to constructing an artificial metalloenzyme model complex
which can recognize and capture a small molecule, a new tripodal ligan
d, tris(6-pivaloylamino-2-pyridylmethyl)amine and its mononuclear copp
er(II) complex has been synthesized, and they were characterized by H-
1-NMR and positive-ion FAB mass spectra, cyclic voltammetry and X-ray
structure analysis.
