TL;DR: In this paper, the 2D NMR spectra confirm the identity of these complexes and indicate C2 symmetry of the [LnL]3+ and Cs symmetry of [Ll1]3+, which correspond to two diastereomers of ligand L, which differ in the sense of the helical twist and configuration at the stereogenic amine nitrogen atoms.
Abstract: Lanthanide(III) complexes of the enantiopure chiral hexaaza tetraamine macrocycle L, 2(R),7(R),18(R),23(R)-1,8,15,17,24,31-hexaazatricyclo[25.3.1.1.0.0]-dotriaconta-10,12,14,26,28,30-hexaene, as well as of its meso-type 2(R),7(R),18(S),23(S)-isomeric macrocycle L1, have been synthesized and characterized by spectroscopic methods. The 2D NMR spectra confirm the identity of these complexes and indicate C2 symmetry of the [LnL]3+ and Cs symmetry of the [LnL1]3+ complexes. The crystal structures of the [PrL(NO3)(H2O)2](NO3)2, [EuL(NO3)(H2O)2](NO3)2, [DyL(NO3)2]2[Dy(NO3)5] x 5CH3CN, [YbL(NO3)2]2[Yb(NO3)5] x 5CH3CN, [YbL(H2O)2](NO3)3 x H2O, and [EuL1(NO3)(H2O)2]0.52[EuL1(NO3)2]0.48(NO3)1.52 x 0.48H2O complexes have been determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. In all complexes, the lanthanide(III) ions are coordinated by six nitrogen atoms of the macrocycle L or L1, but for each type of complex, the conformation of the macrocycle and the axial ligation are different. The crystallographic, NMR, and CD data show that the [YbL]3+ complex exists in two stable forms. Both forms of the Yb(III) complex have been isolated, and their interconversion was studied in various solvents. The two forms of [YbL]3+ complex correspond to two diastereomers of ligand L, which differ in the sense of the helical twist and the configuration at the stereogenic amine nitrogen atoms. In one of the stereoisomers, the macrocycle L of (RRRR) configuration at the stereogenic cyclohexane carbon atoms adopts the (RSRS) configuration at the amine nitrogen atoms, while in the other stereoisomer, the macrocycle L of (RRRR) configuration at the stereogenic cyclohexane carbon atoms adopts the (SSSS) configuration at the amine nitrogen atoms. The (RRRR)(RSRS) isomer is quantitatively converting to the (RRRR)(SSSS) isomer in water solution, while the reverse process is observed for an acetonitrile solution, thus representing the rare case of helicity inversion controlled by the solvent.

TL;DR: In this paper, the PbII-and HgII-15-metallacrown-5 complexes were obtained in the crystalline form as pyridine adducts and their X-ray crystal structures were determined.
Abstract: The new copper(II) 15-metallacrown-5 complexes with the central metal ions PbII, HgII, AgI, NaI and YIII, with the formula [MCu5L5]Xn {H2L is 2-picolinehydroxamic acid or (S)-phenylalaninehydroxamic acid and X– is NO3– or Cl–}, have been synthesised and characterised by NMR and UV/Vis spectroscopy, electrospray mass spectrometry and elemental analysis. The PbII- and HgII 15-metallacrown-5 complexes were obtained in the crystalline form as pyridine adducts [PbCu5(picha)5(py)6](NO3)2·3(py) and [HgCu5(picha)5(py)7](NO3)2·2(py) and their X-ray crystal structures were determined. In both complexes, each peripheral CuII ion of the metallacrown is coordinated by one pyridine molecule bonded in the axial position. In the case of the PbII derivative, one additional axial pyridine molecule is bound to the central metal ion, while in the case of the HgII derivative, two axial pyridine ligands are bound to the central HgII ion. The relative stability of the copper(II) 15-metallacrown-5 complexes with various central metal ions was determined on the basis of competition reactions. The relative preference of the 15-metallacrown-5 system for the central metal ion follows the series NaI, AgI < lanthanide(III), HgII < PbII.(© Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.
