- Abstract:
- The synthesis and structures of two new octadentate, Schiff-base calixpyrrole macrocycles are presented in which modifications at the meso-substituents (L1) or the aryl spacer between the two pyrrole-imine donor compartments (L2) are introduced. The outcomes of these changes are highlighted in the structures of binuclear Pacman complexes of these macrocycles, [M2(L1)] and [M2(L 2)]. Both palladium and cobalt complexes of the fluorenylmeso- substituted macrocycle H4L1 adopt rigid, but laterally twisted geometries with enclosed bimetallic microenvironments; a consequence of this spatial constraint is an exo-exo-bonding mode of pyridine in the dicobalt complex [Co2(py)2(L1)]. In contrast, the use of an anthracenyl backbone between the two donor compartments (H4L 2) generates a binuclear palladium complex in which the two PdN 4 environments are approximately cofacial and separated by 5.3 å, so generating a bimetallic complex that is structurally very similar to binuclear compounds of cofacial diporphyrins. © 2009 American Chemical Society
