Following excitation in the range 370-405 nm, the emission spectrum of a cell permeable macrocyclic Eu(III) complex incorporating an N-methylsulfonamide moiety changes form with pH, allowing ratiometric pH measurements in the range 6 to 8.

Abstract The macrocyclic calix[4]arene ligand H 2 L comprises two non‐fluorescent 2,6‐bis‐(iminomethyl)phenolate chromophores, which show a chelation‐enhanced fluorescence enhancement upon Zn 2+ ion complexation. Macrocyclic [ZnL] complexes aggregate in the absence of external coligands via intermolecular Zn−N bonds to give dimeric structures comprising five‐coordinated ions. absorption and emi...

In the title thio-cyanate-coordinated aza-macrocyclic copper(II) complex, [Cu(NCS)(2)(C(24)H(38)N(6))], the Cu(II) atom is coordinated by the four secondary N atoms of the aza-macrocyclic ligand and by the two N atoms of the thio-cyanate ions in a tetra-gonally distorted octa-hedral geometry. The average equatorial Cu-N bond length is shorter than the average axial Cu-N bond length [2.010 (2) a...

Macrocyclic compounds represent a structural class with exceptional potential for biological activity; however, they have historically been underrepresented in screening collections and synthetic libraries. In this article we report the development of a highly step-efficient strategy for the diversity-oriented synthesis of complex macrocyclic architectures, using a modular approach based on the...

An efficient chemoselective process for the synthesis of 14- and 15-membered triazole-containing macrocycle compounds has been developed through the combination of two multicomponent reactions and an intramolecular Sonogashira cross-coupling reaction.

Two macrocyclic compounds with a rhomboid molecular shape, composed of a π-conjugated framework and an imine or amine functionality, were synthesized. The amine-containing macrocycle crystallizes with step-like interaction of each molecule, forming a columnar arrangement, although dispersion of the imine gelates upon ultrasonification.

A net trans C-N reductive elimination reaction is observed from a macrocyclic aryl-Cu(III) complex, and a mechanistic study of this reaction indicates that coordinating ligands play a role in mediating this unusual transformation.

An Fe(III) complex of a biuret-amide based macrocyclic ligand that exhibits both excellent reactivity for the activation of H(2)O(2) and high stability, especially at low pH and high ionic strength, is reported.

Hybrid photocatalysts were prepared by depositing a macrocyclic cobalt complex on TiO2 surfaces. Upon UV light irradiation, photoexcited electrons in TiO2 nanoparticles were transferred to the surface cobalt catalyst for CO2 reduction.

By using quantum mechanical DFT calculations, the most probable structure of the bambus[6]uril x NO3(-) anionic complex species was derived. In this complex having C3 symmetry, the nitrate anion NO3(-), included in the macrocyclic cavity, is bound by twelve weak hydrogen bonds between methine hydrogen atoms on the convex face of glycoluril units and the considered NO3(-) ion.
