Dalton communications. Synthesis and crystal structure of a disilver(I) complex of a tetraimine Schiff-base macrocycle having N-isopropylidene-bearing pendant arms

Abstract

A disilver(I) complex of a tetraimine Schiff-base macrocycle with stabilised N-isopropylidene-bearing pendant arms has been synthesised and its crystal structure shows that the molecule does not possess the cleft-like appearance previously noted for related disilver(I) complexes.
