B. Cabezon et al., NEW POLYAZA MACROBICYCLIC CRYPTANDS BASED ON 1,2,4-TRIAZOLE LIGANDS AND THEIR CU(I), AG(I), CU(II) AND NI(II) COMPLEXES, Tetrahedron letters, 39(9), 1998, pp. 1067-1070
New polytopic cryptands 2-4 containing 1,2,4-triazole subunits have be
en synthesized by [2+3] condensation of the corresponding acyltriazole
5 and tris(2-aminoethyl)amine (Tren) in excellent yield; 2 and 3 gave
dinuclear Ag(I) and trinuclear Cu(I) cryptates, and 4 yielded trinucl
ear NI(II) and Cu(II) complexes in alkaline media. The nature of the c
omplexes has been established by LSIMS and MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry
