An interwoven Fe3L3 trigonal metallamacrocycle from an in situ ligand hydrolysis reaction.
Through an in situ hydrolysis reaction of the bishydrazone ligand H4L1 [H4L1=(HOC6H4)CH=NNHCO(C5H3N)CONHN[double bond, length as m-dash]CH(C6H4OH)], in the presence of Fe(III) ions, an interwoven trigonal metallamacrocycle [Fe3L3(H2O)3].9H2O () [H3L=(HOC6H4)CH=NNHCO(C5H3N)CO2H] containing unusually double-layered capsule-like water hexamers was obtained and characterized by elemental analysis, FT-IR, TGA, ESI-MS and X-ray crystallography.
