Abstract

Abstract Starting from phenols R1, R2 ArOH (5) and the anisole derivative 3, 5-di-tert-butyl-2- methoxybenzyl bromide (13), a series of new tacn-based ligands (R1, R2 ArOR 3) 3 tacn (2) have been synthesized with substituents of varying bulkiness and electronic nature at the ortho and para positions with respect to the oxygen coordination site. It was observed that these groups not only determine the steric shielding and solubility properties of 2, but also ...
