Azine‐Bridged Octanuclear Copper(<scp>II</scp>) Complexes Assembled with a One‐Stranded Ditopic Thiocarbohydrazone Ligand

Abstract

Metallomacrocyclic arrays containing eight copper(II) centers (see picture; green Cu, blue N, red O, yellow S) were obtained by using a heptadentate thiocarbohydrazone ligand with a particular conformational and configurational flexibility, as well as an appropriate arrangement of metal-binding sites, coordination ability, and acid–base properties.
