Abstract

We have reported the syntheses of macrocycles containing two or four diphenylstanna moieties in the ring with various length polymethylene chains between the tin atoms. 1 Since acyclic, Lewis acidic distanna compounds have been shown to exhibit co-operative binding of donors,'we predicted that macrocycles containing Lewis acidic tin atoms would display cooperative and size-selective binding properties. In confirmation of this expectation, we ...
