description

The new dissymmetrical ligand 1-(N,N-dimethylcarbamoylmethyl)-8-(2-pyridylmethyl)-4,11-dimethyl-1,4,8,11-tetraazacyclotetradecane, 5, was synthesized and the physicochemical properties of its copper(II) complex, [CuII(5)](ClO4)2·CH3CN, were determined. UV–Vis, IR, ESR experiments, and X-ray analysis of [CuII(5)](ClO4)2·CH3CN were carried out. The X-ray structure of [CuII(5)](ClO4)2·CH3CN revealed a distorted square pyramid with the four coordinating nitrogen atoms of the macrocycle lying in the basal position. Curiously, the fifth ligand is the N,N-dimethylcarbamoylmethyl group through the oxygen atom and not the pyridylmethyl moiety.
