Polynuclear complexes of pseudocalixarene macrocycles

As part of a program to synthesise and investigate macrocyclic polynuclear arrays, a new range of phenol based pseudocalixarene macrocycles have been synthesized, combining some of the properties of the Schiff-base and calixarene macrocycle systems. A series of dinuclear complexes of the pseudocalixarene macrocycle H6LI containing two 2,2'-methylenediphenol groups have been synthesised and structurally characterised. [Continues.
