Abstract

The synthesis of the new terpyridine-containing macrocycle 2,5,8,11,14-pentaaza[15](6,6)cyclo(2,2:6,2)- terpyridinophane (L) is reported. The ligand contains a pentaamine chain linking the 6,6positions of a terpyridine unit. A potentiometric, 1H NMR, UVvis spectrophotometric and fluorescence emission study on the acidbase properties of L in aqueous solutions shows that the first four protonation steps occur on the polyamine chain, whereas the terpyridine nitrogens are involved in proton binding only at strongly acidic pH values. L can form both mono- and dinuclear Cu(II), Zn(II), Cd(II), and Pb(II) complexes in aqueous solution. The crystal structures of the Zn(II) and Cd(II) complexes [ZnLH]2(-OH)(ClO4)5 (6) and [CdLH]2(-Br)(ClO4)5.4H2O (7) show that two mononuclear [MLH]3+units are coupled by a bridging anion (OH- in 6 and Br- in 7) and -stacking interactions between the terpyridine moieties. A potentiometric and spectrophotometric study shows that in the case of Cu(II) and Zn(II) the dimeric assemblies are also formed in aqueous solution containing the ligand and the metals in a 1:1 molar ratio. Protonation of the complexes or the addition of a second metal ion leads to the disruption of the dimers due to the increased electrostatic repulsions between the two monomeric units.
