Abstract
Structural studies have confirmed that it is possible to exploit the relati vely low nucleophilicity of the "external" amino substituents on the Co-III complex of 1,8-diaminosarcophagine ("sarcophagine" = sar = 3,6,10,13,16,19 -hexaazabicyclo[6.6.6]-icosane) in acylation and alkylation reactions leadi ng to a variety of functionalized cage amine complexes. With the appropriat e choice of solvent, all these reactions can be conducted with high efficie ncy, and the new complexes display properties foreshadowing the application of cage systems in, for example, electroactive polymers.
