Abstract

The synthesis of S-(2, 6-Diformyl-4-methylphenyl) dimethylthiocarbamate, a valuable thiolate-containing ligand precursor, is reported in detail for the first time. This precursor has considerable potential in biosite modelling studies. A macrocycle L and a related acyclic ligand L′ have been prepared, as complexes, from the precursor and 1, 3-diaminopropane. The macrocycle was successfully templated by both zinc (II) and nickel (II) ions yielding [ ...
