Calix[6]azacryptand Ligand with a Sterically Protected Tren-Based Coordination Site for Metal Ions

A new calix[6]azacryptand ligand has been prepared in six steps starting from 1,3,5-trismethoxycalix[6]arene. An X-ray study shows that this ligand has a sterically protected tren-based binding site at the bottom of a polyaromatic bowl and ether sites around its rim. It binds Zn²⁺ to give a complex...
