Abstract

A novel pyridine containing tetraazamacrocycle 3, 6, 9, 15-tetraazabicyclo [9.3. 1] pentadeca- 1 (15), 11, 13-triene-3, 6, 9-triacetic acid ethyl ester (1) and its mononuclear Mn2+ complex (2) have been prepared. Pyridine induced the π–π stacking of [Mn1] 2+ and provided donors for nonclassical CH… O hydrogen bonding as well. In the solid state of 2, the combination of π–π interactions and hydrogen bonding constructed a 3D crystal structure and thus ...
