Uses
1,4,8,11-Tetraazacyclotetradecane is macrocyclic ligand that is used as an antioxidant in rubber and has been shown to suppress oxidation catalyzed by some metal ions.
Definition
ChEBI: 1,4,8,11-tetraazacyclotetradecane is a saturated organic heteromonocyclic parent, a crown amine and an azacycloalkane. It derives from a hydride of a cyclotetradecane.
General Description
1,4,8,11-Tetraazacyclotetradecane is an azamacrocycle that forms more stable metal complexes as compared to open chain ligands.
Purification Methods
Purify cyclam by recrystallisation from dioxane (white needles), and it sublimes above 120o. It has been distilled, b 132-140o/4-8mm. It forms complexes with metals and gives a sparingly soluble nitrate salt, m 205o(dec), which crystallises from H2O and is dried at 150o. [UV: Bosnich et al.
