Key Points

The research aims to investigate how the ring size and denticity of phosphine oxide appended aza-macrocyclic ligands influence their behavior in transition metal complexes.
Synthesis of new phosphine oxide appended aza-macrocyclic ligands L1 and L3.
Use of Bn-tacn and Bn-cyclen in ligand preparation.
Characterization of ligands to determine yield and properties.
L1 and L3 were synthesized successfully with good yields.
Differences in stability and reactivity of transition metal complexes were observed based on denticity and ring size.

Implication

Research explores how ring size and binding sites affect transition metal complex stability in ligands.

Abstract

Two new phosphine oxide appended aza-macrocyclic ligands, L1 and L3, have been prepared in good yield from the reaction of Bn-tacn and Bn-cyclen (tacn = 1,4,7-triazacyclononane; cyclen = 1,4,7,10-tetraazacyclododecane) with...
