In chloroform 8 rearranges into an equilibrium mixture of the 16-membered cyclic tetraaza-diimine 5,7,8,16,-17,18-pentahydrodibenzo[g,o][ 1,5,9,13]tetraazacyclotetradecine (4) and the 24-membered hexaaza-triimine 7,8,-16,17,18,27,28-heptahydrotribenzo[g,o,w][l,5,9,13]hexaazacyclotetracosine (6). The macrocycle 4 was separated as its nickel(II) thiocyanate derivative and subsequently displaced with cyanide. Reduction of 4 with cyanoborohydride afforded the 16-membered tetraaza-tetraamine 7,8,9,10,16,17,18,19,20-nonahydrodibenzo-[g,o][ 1,5,9,13]tetrazacyclotetradecine (5). The hexaaza-triimine 6 was trapped by precipitation, isolated by fractional crystallization, and subsequently converted into the 24-membered hexaaza-
