The nature of the donor atoms is one of the most important characteristics of macrocyclic ligands [11] and has been employed as a criterion for a classification of macrocyclic compounds. The classification of the macropolycyclic encapsulating ligands is based on the nature of the donor atoms and the type of donor groups that appear to be the best.
