Isomeric p- and o-phenylenediamine-containing macrocyclic hosts (Wurster's thiacrown ethers L1 and L2, respectively) were prepared and studied as Hg(II) ionophores. The distinct electrochemical properties of the two hosts allowed for the formation of a coordination compound with the ortho-Wurster's thiacrown ether but not the para isomer. In the latter case, the Hg(II) ion served as an oxidant in an electron-transfer reaction with the host. Solutions of the Hg(II) complex of L2 were studied by 13C NMR spectroscopy and cyclic voltammetry and revealed a strong interaction between the redox-active phenylenediamine subunit and the bound metal cation. An X-ray analysis confirmed the participation of the three macrocyclic S atoms and both phenylenediamine N atoms in the stabilization of the complex.
