Formation of exocyclic olefinic groups via stereoselective nitrosations: a new route towards pendant arm macrocyclic ligands
Abstract
Nitrosation of the CuII and PdII complexes of trans-6,13-dimethyl-1,4,8,11-tetraazacyclotetradecane-6,13-diamine results in new macrocyclic complexes bearing exclusively exocyclic olefinic groups as shown by an X-ray crystal structure and NMR spectroscopy.
