title: Efficient preparation of 1,4,8-trimethylcyclam and its conversion into a thioalkyl-pendant pentadentate chelate.
abstract: A facile synthesis of 1,4,8-trimethylcyclam and a thioalkyl-pendant derivative are reported, and the X-ray crystal structure of a nickel(II) complex illustrates structural consequences of appending the thiolate donor onto the macrocycle.
