O. Sato et al., Syntheses of tetraazabis(tropocoronand)s containing hydroxy group(s) and conformational analysis of their nickel(II) complexes in solution, HETEROCYCLE, 52(1), 2000, pp. 459-463
The stepwise syntheses of one symmetric and three asymmetric tetra azabis(t
ropocoronand)s (12a-12d) having two linker chains, with or without a hydrox
y group, of the same or different length are reported. The coordination sty
les of their nickel(II) complexes (13a-13d) in solution have also been disc
ussed based on their H-1 NMR and UV-VIS. spectral data.
