Metalloligands based on Robson-type amino-thiophenolato macrocycles for assembly of heterotrimetallic complexes

Abstract

The ability of macrocyclic Co and Ni aminothiolate complexes to act as metalloligands towards cuprate ions was established. Adduct formation is enabled by a thiolate-to-Cu⁺ charge transfer (CT) interaction giving stable heterotrimetallics with magnetic properties.
