Abstract

An unusual discrete heteronuclear metallomacrocycle was designed and synthesized via metal-ion-directed self-assembly by an iron(II) template. The formation of this metallomacrocycle was demonstrated by X-ray crystallography, electrospray ionization Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometry, and NMR spectroscopy.
