Bioactive Azamacrocyclic Zinc(II) Complexes: Synthesis and Characterisation
Reduction of Me8[14]diene·2HClO4 (L·2HClO4) afforded three isomeric ligands (LA, LB and LC), among which LC underwent cyanoethylation with excess acrylonitrile to form the bis-cyanoethyl derivative (LCX). Reaction of LCX with zinc(II) chloride yielded the six-coordinate complex [Zn(LCX)Cl2], which subsequently underwen...
