The synthesis and characterization of several Cr(III) complexes of the constrained macrocyclic ligand 1,4-C2-cyclam = 1,4,8,11-tetraazabicyclo[10.2.2]hexadecane is reported. The ligand appears to form only trans complexes, and the structure oftrans-[Cr(1,4-C2-cyclam)Cl2]PF6is presented. The constraint imposed by the additional C2linkage distorts the bond angles significantly away from the ideal values of 90 and 180°. The effect of the distortion is to enhance the aquation rate oftrans-[Cr(1,4-C2-cyclam)Cl2]+(kobsfortrans-[Cr(1,4-C2-cyclam)(H2O)2]3+formation = 6.5 × 10-2s-1, 0.01M HNO3, 25 °C) by over 5 orders of magnitude relative totrans-[Cr(cyclam)Cl2]+. The complexestrans-[Cr(1,4-C2-cyclam)Cl2]+andtrans-[Cr(1,4-C2-cyclam)(CN)2]+are found to have extinction coefficients four to five times higher than their cyclam analogues, owed to the lack of centrosymmetry caused by the steric constraint. Thetrans-[Cr(1,4-C2-cyclam)(CN)2]+complex is a very weak emitter in aqueous solution with a broad room-temperature emission centered at 735 nm (τ = 0.24 μs). Extended photolysis (350 nm, 15 h) oftrans-[Cr(1,4-C2-cyclam)(CN)2]+in aqueous solution results in CN-ligand loss. This is in stark contrast to its unconstrained cyclam analogue, which is photoinert and has a room-temperature emission lifetime of 335 μs.
