Hexafunctionalized borromeates using olefin cross metathesis.
Employing well-established template-directed protocols, which depend upon dynamic covalent, coordinative, and noncovalent chemistry for their efficient outputs, we have synthesized, in a convergent manner, Borromeates composed of three identical macrocycles which present, diagonally in pairs, six exo-bidentate bipyridyl ligands and six endo-diiminopyridyl ligands, each carrying either pentenyloxy or p-tolylpentenyloxy substituents on their 4-positions, to six zinc(II) ions.
