Abstract
Chemical oxidation of two preformed dinuclear copper(II) dithiocarbamate macrocycles leads to the formation of a novel mixed-valence tetranuclear copper(II)/copper(III) dithiocarbamate [2]catenane in near quantitative yield. Structural (see X-ray crystal structure), magnetic susceptibility, electrospray mass spectrometry, and electrochemical studies all support the formation of a CuII CuIII CuII CuIII tetranuclear catenane dication.Entities:
