Clathrochelates nomenclature

Each of the known clathrochelates may be named according to the lUPAC regulations, but an extreme awkwardness of such name causes considerable difficulties in usage. For instance, in accordance with the lUPAC nomenclature, the clathrochelate ligand 3 (Scheme 1), when n = m-2, should be called... 

The nomenclature proposed by Melson and Busch [9, 20] for monomacrocyclic compounds is not applicable to clathrochelates since... 

The nomenclature used to represent the clathrochelate is from Reference 1. The chemicals employed in the synthesis are commercially available (reagent grade wherever possible) and are used without further purification. Elemental analyses were performed by Chemalytics, Inc., Tempe, AZ.
