Synthesis, Stereochemical Characterisation and Absolute Configuration of Enantiomerically Pure Complexes of Sexidentate Ligands

Article abstract of DOI:10.1007/BF00809812

The optically active sexidentate Schiff bases 3L⁵> and 3L⁶> were prepared from tris<(S)-2-aminopropyl>amine and 5-chlor- and 5-isopropylsalicylaldehyde, respectively.Reaction of rhodium trichloride with 3L⁶> gave an enantiomerically pure 6> complex with an absolute configuration of Λ for the octahedral arrangement.The chiroptical properties are given. Keywords.Chelate complexes; Diastereoselective synthesis; Optical activity; Chiroptical properties.
