description

The coordination properties of saturated aza or oxa-aza macrocyclic receptors are strictly dependent on their molecular topology. In order to rationalize the relationship between structural features and binding characteristics of such molecules we have studied the coordination behavior of different macrocyclic or macropolycyclic oxa-aza ligands towards metal cations. Depending on molecular topology, a variety of inorganic chemical species can be lodged inside the receptor’s cavity, such as simple metal ions, complexed inorganic anions, partially hydrated metal cations or binuclear assemblies.
