Stereochemistry of metal ion complexes of 1,4,7-triazacyclononane, their N,N′,N′′-tris(aminoethyl), tris(aminopropyl), and their N,N′-(4,7-diazadecylene) derivatives is described in terms of the fusion of chelate rings at metal–nitrogen coordination bonds. Molecular mechanics calculations and analysis of the X-ray data confirm that the semi-quantitative analysis is valid and that fusion plays a critical role in the structure of the complexes. Molecular mechanics study of puckering of the ethylenediamine chelate ring, an essential part in this study, is also presented.

A small bicyclic cryptand 3 bearing urea groups along the 7-atom bridges was synthesized in 22% yield by a novel tripod-tripod coupling procedure. Protonation and complexation studies are reported and compared with results with polyoxa-[2]-cryptands and [3]-cryptand 6. These show that 3 is a moderate base, a weak metal ion binder, but a two-proton binder exhibiting strong positive cooperativity (pKa2 > pKa1) and fast proton exchange kinetics. As demonstrated by molecular mechanics calculations, an inward rotation of the carbonyl groups to form hydrogen bonds to cryptated protons was invoked to explain the cooperativity.
