Amine-substituted benzo-crown ethers

A series of polyether macrocycles [59]—[66] (Fig. 33) that contain a coordinated reducible, redox-active 16-electron molybdenum nitrosyl (Mo(NO)(3+ group have been prepared (Al-Obaidi et al, 1986 Beer et al., 1987). Compounds [59]—[63] were synthesized from the reactions between [Mo(NO)LX2] (L = tris(3,5-dimethylpyrazolyl)hydroborate X = Cl or I ) and the appropriate amine substituted benzo-crown ether. Compounds...
