Potts, K T

The synthesis of several macrocyclic ligands, designed by a computer modeling approach for the complexation of the uranyl ion, has now been completed and their structures established. Preliminary indicate that these macrocycles successfully complex the uranyl ion. Other synthetic efforts have led to a variety of intermediates suitable for final ring closure to the desired macrocycles, providing appreciable potential for variation of the macrocyclic peripheral atoms. A 1:1-uranyl ion complex of one of these precursor products has been shown to undergo a DMSO-induced rearrangement to a 2:1 uranyl ion to ligand complex, both structures having been established by single crystal x-ray data. 10 refs.
