Abstract

The synthesis of several lanthanide complexes from the tris alkylated cyclen (1, 4, 7, 10- tetraazacyclododecane) ligands and is described. The syntheses of and were investigated by means of two different synthetic routes (Method 1 and Method 2). The first of these involves the mono protection of cyclen using 4-methoxyphenylsulfonyl chloride, followed by alkylation of the remaining three secondary amines of cyclen, and deprotection using ...
