Bis-tetraazamacrocycles can be utilized as ligands for use in synthesizing bimetallic complexes. Varying the spacer, the tetraazamacrocycles that are linked, and attaching different functional groups on the tetraazamacrocycle can modify these versatile ligands for a variety of purposes. Synthetic routes for a variety of bridged bis-cyclen and bridged bis-cyclam ligands have been developed. Copper (II) and zinc complexes have been synthesized and characterized.
