Fortier, D.G., and McAuley, A. Synthesis and crystallographic characterisation of pendant arm macrocyclic complexes derived from 1,4,7-triazacyclononane mono- and di-(3-aminopropyl)-1,4,7-triazacyclononane as ligands, Dalton Trans. (1991), 101-109. 

Parent and derivatized vanadium(V)-tacn complexes (tacn= 1,4,7-triazacyclononane) have been prepared and structurally characterized.435 Various auxiliary ligands have been used including acetylacetonate (acac), isothiocyanate ( NCS), azide, and benzoic acid.436 The acac derivative was used in the synthesis of a nitridovanadium(V) complex (80).436...
