Abstract: The 1HNMRspectra of 1, 12-diaza-3, 4-: 9, 10-dibenzo-5, 8-dioxacy-clopentadencane-N, N'-diacetic acid (sodium salt) and its complexes in solution are reported.Two sets of three split peaks have been observed in the low temperature NMRspectra of the macrocycle, which is related to the nonequivalence of 1- and 2- protons on the conformation of the macrocyclic ligand.The 1HNMRspectra of the nickel complex is very similar to those of the zinc complex.This can be interpreted as a low-spin, square plannar molecular structure of the nickel complex.For all of the zinc, nickel and cobalt complexes, the ether oxygen atoms in the macrocyclic ligand do not coordinate to the central metal ion.
