Water-Soluble Chiral Y(III)–Cu(II) Metallamacrocyclic Phenylalaninehydroximate Complex

Abstract

A chiral Y(III)–Cu(II) metallamacrocyclic complex with L-phenylalaninehydroximate ligands was synthesized. The chirality of initial L-aminohydroximate ligands dictates the one-side orientation of the R-substituent relative to the internal O–Cu–N–O moiety. The molecular and electronic structures of the synthesized complex were studied by X-ray diffraction (CIF file CCDC no. 1903232) and quantum chemical calculations.
