Synthesis and Structure of a New Tripodal Polypyridine Copper(II) Complex That Enables to Recognize a Small Molecule

Article abstract of DOI:10.1246/cl.1995.61

With a view to constructing an artificial metalloenzyme model complex which can recognize and capture a small molecule, a new tripodal ligand, tris(6-pivaloylamino-2-pyridylmethyl)amine, and its mononuclear copper(II) complex has been synthesized, and they were characterized by 1H-NMR and positive-ion FAB mass spectra, cyclic voltammetry and X-ray structure analysis.
