cyclen derivative containing
four aldehyde groups with an appropriate diamine followed by reduction
and demetalation highly efficiently affords a bis(cyclen)-derived
molecular cage. Potentiometric investigations show that this compound
forms dimetallic complexes with copper(II), with the two metal ions
selectively coordinated to the cyclen units. X-ray crystallography
indicates that these complexes could give rise to new cascade complexes
after incorporation of anions between the metal centers.
