Macrocyclic Ligands

Abstract: The main classes of macrocyclic ligands are classified. Emphasis is placed on O and N donors but S, P and As‐donors are also included. The macrocyclic effect and anion coordination are both discussed.

“…Macrocyclic compounds occupy a unique segment of chemical and biological sciences. Because of the size, complex structural organization, and limited conformational freedom, they are of interest as ligands for investigations of binding interactions with various targets, from small simple ions to huge molecules like peptides and DNA. These investigations have achieved significant success in the area of drug discovery. , Nowadays, various macrocyclic drugs are involved in clinical practice. Complexation of macrocyclic ligands toward metal cations rather differs from linear analogues.…”
