Abstract:The synthesis of a series of mononuclear, dicationic CoII funnel complexes is reported herein. Three ligands Calix‐TMPAX present a calix[6]arene cone closed at its small rim by a tris(2‐pyridylmethyl)amine (TMPA) unit and differ by the nature of three cavity walls, anisole, phenol or quinone. The X‐ray diffraction structure of [CoII(MeCN)Calix‐TMPAOMe](ClO4)2 displays a trigonal bipyramidal geometry, with Co bound to all 4 nitrogen atoms of the TMPA cap, and to one MeCN guest molecule buried inside the calixar… Show more
