“…0'4,1 ']heptucosa-1,3,S, 7,9,11(2 7), 12,14,16,18,20,22(25),23-tridecaene ( I ) . The relevant macrocyclic ligand and texaphyrin (15) metal complex were prepared using standard methods (13,(16)(17)(18)(19)(20), which are described briefly below. The macrocyclic ligand, 2, was then oxidatively metallated using lutetium(II1) acetate hydrate (9.75 g, 0.0230 mol) and triethylamine (22 mL) in air-saturated methanol (1500 mL) at reflux (13).…”
