been accomplished
in facile one-pot reaction conditions at room temperature. Self-assembly
of eight components has resulted in the formation of M4L4-type metallacyclophanes [Mn(CO)3Br(μ-L)]4 (1–3) using pentacarbonylbromomanganese
as metal precursor and rigid azine ligands such as pyrazine, 4,4′-bipyridine,
and trans-1,2-bis(4-pyridyl)ethylene, respectively,
as bridging ligands. The metallacyclophanes have been characterized
on the basis of IR, NMR, and UV–vis spectroscopic techniques
and single-crystal X-ray diffraction methods.
