title: First insights into the electronic properties of a Cu(II) center embedded in the PN3 cap of a calix[6]arene-based ligand.
abstract: The first metal complex based on the calix[6]PN3 cryptand is described. The solid-state and solution studies show a 5-coordinate Cu(II) center due to its coordination to the PN3 cap and to an exchangeable guest molecule. Spectroscopic and electrochemical studies evidence surprising properties of the metal ion, which are tentatively assigned to the unusual P-Cu(II) bond enforced by the cryptand.
