Synthesis, solution and electrochemical behaviour of new aza-crown ethers derived from biphenyl

摘要

Macrocyclic ligands L-1-L-4 containing biphenyl units have been synthesized. Potentiometric and voltametric studies in the presence and the absence of transition metal cations have been carried out. The relationship between the conformation of the ligand and oxidation states has been also considered. The crystal structure of [HgL2(CN)(2)]. 2Hg(CN)(2) has been elucidated by X-ray diffraction techniques. [References: 25]
