An isoindoline bridged [M(η6-arene)2]+ (M = Re, 99mTc) ansa-arenophane and its dinuclear macrocycles with axial chirality

This work presents a straightforward method for the preparation of an isoindoline bridged [M(arene)(2)](+) (M = Re, Tc-99m) ansa-[3]arenophane. This intramolecular formation of an ansa-complex is accompanied by the intermolecular formation of a pair of isoindoline bridged macrocyclic dinuclear sandwich complexes, one of which exhibits axial chirality.
