Research Area
Coordination chemistry of macrocyclic ligands has been a fascinating area of current research interestall over the world. Thecontinued interest and quest in designing new macrocyclic ligands stem mainly from their use as modelsfor protein-metal binding sites in a substantial arrayof metalloproteins in biological systems, as syntheticionophores, as models to study the magnetic ex- change phenomena, as therapeutic reagents in chelate therapy for the treatment of metal intoxication, as cyclic antibiotics that owe their antibiotic actions to specific metal complexation, to study the guest- host interactions, and in catalysis. Recognition of the importance of complexes containing macrocyclic ligands has led to a considerable effort being invested in developing reliable inexpensive synthetic routes for these compounds.
