Synthesis and structure of a complex of bismuth(III) with a nitrogen donor macrocycle

Abstract

The synthesis and structure of the first example of a bismuth(III) complex of a nitrogen donor macrocycle is reported, with the pendant-donor cyclen-based tetraaza macrocycle 1,4,7,10-tetrakis[(S)-2-hydroxypropyl]-1,4,7,10-tetraazacyclo-dodecane; the complex is eight-coordinate with approximately square antiprismatic coordination geometry.
