Abstract

Macrocyclic ligands that contain tertiary nitrogen donors represent a relatively unstudied class of metal complexing agent. On the basis of the limited information that is currently available, it appears that the conversion of secondary amines to tertiary amines in a macrocyclic ligand decreases its effective ligand field strength.* As a result, the redox and spectral properties of a metal complex can be" tuned" over a considerable range by ...
