With a view to use as carbene transfer agents, well-defined silver(i) and copper(i) complexes of a macrocyclic NHC-based pincer ligand, bearing a central lutidine donor and a dodecamethylene spacer [CNC-(CH2)12, 1], have been prepared. Although the silver adduct is characterised by X-ray diffraction as a dinuclear species anti-[Ag(μ-1)]2(2+), variable temperature measurements indicate dynamic s...

Macrocyclic ligands form highly selective and kinetically labile complexes with a wide range of cations, including alkali metal and alkaline earth cations. Formation rate constants are high and remarkably insensitive to ligand structure, but decrease systematically with increasing charge density of the cation this behaviour is qualitatively similar to that expected for the dissociative intercha...

In the crystal structure of the title compound, [Pd2(C36H42N6)Cl2](ClO4)2·2C3H7NO·2CH3OH, the dinuclear Pd(II) complex cation lies on an inversion center. Each Pd(II) ion has a distorted square-planar coordination sphere, defined by three N atoms of the macrocyclic ligand and a chloride ion. The Pd(II) complex cations and the methanol mol-ecules are linked through N-H⋯O and O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds...

The crystal structure of the title compound, [Ni(NCS)2(C16H38N6)], has been determined from synchrotron data. The asymmetric unit consists of two halves of the complex mol-ecules which have their Ni(II) atoms located on inversion centres. The Ni(II) ions show a tetra-gonally distorted octa-hedral coordination geometry, with four secondary amine N atoms of the aza-macrocyclic ligand in the equat...

This paper deals with the synthesis and characterization of macrocyclic ligand and its complex compound. Template condensation of chlorocarbons such as 1,1,2,2-tetrachloroethane with 1,3-diaminopropane in presence of nickel (II) or copper (II) yielded the corresponding metal complexes such as 3,7,10,14,15,19,20,24octaazatricyclotetracosane (OCTC). The macrocyclic ligands and their complexes hav...

The asymmetric unit of the title coordination complex, [Ag2Br2(C5H8N2)2] n , comprises a monodentate 1-ethyl-imida-zole ligand, an Ag(+) cation and a μ3-bridging Br(-) anion, giving a distorted tetra-hedral AgNBr3 stereochemistry about the Ag(+) cation [Ag-N = 2.247 (2) Å and Ag-Br = 2.7372 (4)-2.7523 (4) Å]. Two bridging bromide anions generate the dimeric [Ag2Br2(C5H8N)2] repeat unit [Ag⋯Ag =...

The ability of macroheterocyclic compounds to complex with ionic species has led to the synthesis and investigation of many multidentate macroheterocyclic species . The most stable complexes are formed between macrocyclic polyetheral ligands (crown ethers) with alkali or alkaline earth metal iona. There is an excellent correlation of the stability of these complexes with the size of the cation ...
