attributed to the hydrophobic microenvironment about the free coordination site. The new compounds can be used for the stabilization of reactive intermediates or for the activation of small molecules such as carbon dioxide.
The unusual reactivity of binuclear complexes of the macrocyclic ligand (L R) 2-can be attributed to the hydrophobic microenvironment about the free coordination site. The new compounds can be used for the stabilization of reactive intermediates or for the activation of small molecules such as carbon dioxide.
