General description

Cyclen is a microcyclic tetramine that can be used as a ligand that forms a co-ordination linkage with the surface metal cations. It can be used as a synthetic precursor. It can be prepared by S-alkylation of dithiooxamide with an excess amount of bromoethane.

Application

Cyclen is an azamocrocycle, which can be used in the development of fluorescent nanosensors for the detection of metal ions.

A new cyclen derivative L, bearing a methyl-chromeno-pyridinylidene hydrazone moiety, was synthesized and studied in MeOH, as potential fluorescent "OFF-on-ON" sensors for Zn(ii). Photophysical properties of this ligand being PET regulated, L was only weakly emissive in the absence of

Several 1,4,7,10-tetraazacyclododecane (cyclen)-based linear (3a-c) and cross-linked (8a-d) polymers containing biodegradable ester or disulfide bonds were described. These polymeric compounds were prepared by ring-opening polymerization from various diol glycidyl ethers. The molecular weights of the title polymers were measured by
