A new class of macrocyclic complexes formed via nickel-promoted macrocyclisation of dioxime with dinitrile.
o-Phthalonitrile couples with chelating dioxime on nickel(II), with formation of a dinuclear nickel(II) macrocyclic complex--the first representative of a new class of imine-appended macrocycles.
