Two new polytopic ligands L-1 and L-2 have been synthesized. They consist of a central tren unit to which three 1,4,7,10-tetraazacyclododecane rings are attached via an ethylene and a trimethylene bridge, respectively. The complexation properties of L-1 and L-2 towards Cu2+ and Ni2+ were studied by potentiometric pH titration, UV-Vis, EPR spectroscopy and kinetic techniques. As a comparison, the Cu2+ and Ni2+ complexes with L-3 (1-(N-methyl-2-aminoethyl-1,4,7,10-tetraazacyclododecane)) were also investigated. The crystal structures of [ (CuLH)-H-3(H2O)](ClO4)(3) and [ (NiLCl)-Cl-3](ClO4) were solved and show that the side chain in its protonated form is not involved in coordination, whereas deprotonated it binds to the metal ion. The thermodynamically stable 3 : 1 complexes of L-1 or L-2 have a metal ion in the three macrocyclic units. However, when three equivalents of Cu2+ are added to L-1 or L-2 the metal ion first binds to the tren unit and only then to the macrocycles. The kinetics of the different steps of complexation have been studied and a mechanism is proposed.
