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.
