Abstract

Degradation of a strained, thermodynamically destabilized pentanuclear copper(II) 12-metallacrown-4 complex based on a picoline hydroxamic acid resulted in the formation of the tetranuclear compounds which are the first examples of solely hydroxamate-based Cu(II) metallacrown complexes with a collapse of the metallamacrocyclic cavity.
