3 + 3 optically active macrocyclic Schiff bases were synthesized in the reaction between 4-tert-butyl-2,6-diformylphenol with (1R,2R)-(+)-1,2-diphenylethylenediamine (S1) or (1S,2S)-(-)-1,2-diphenylethylenediamine (S1a). The new compounds were spectroscopically characterised by NMR, IR, X-ray (S1a), UV-Vis and fluorescence spectroscopy. The S1a molecule creates channels with distances between oxygen atoms ranging from 5.

In the complex [Zn(MeO)(OH)(L1)]·2HO K1, there are two binding sites in the macrocyclic ligand and they are occupied by zinc(ii) cations found in slightly distorted square pyramidal environment. The zinc(ii) cations are connected by slightly asymmetric oxo bridges with a Zn1-O14-Zn1[-, - + 1, - + 1] angle of 104.

A mass spectra analysis confirmed the presence of metallated species in the gas phase. Among the observed fragments, the pseudomolecular ions [Cu(RNH)(µ-OCR)] were found, which suggests the dimeric structure of the studied complexes with axially N-coordinated ethyl- or isopropylamine molecules and bridging perfluorinated carboxylates.

Despite the fact that the chelate formed by the NNO ligand donors (C26-C25H-C24H-N23=C23H-C22-C19Ph(O1)-C2(Ph)-C3H=N3-C4H-C5H-C6 fragment) are identical, as well as the synthesis of Cu(II) complexes (Cu:L = 2:1 molar ratio) was performed in the same manner, the structures of the complexes differ significantly. The complex , {[Cu(L1)Cl][CuCl]}·2MeCN·2HO, consists of [Cu(L1)Cl] units in which Cu(II) ions are bridged by the ligand oxygen and each of these Cu(II) ions is connected with Cu(II) ions of the next dimeric unit via two bridging Cl ions to form a chain structure.

The X-ray crystal structure analysis revealed a distorted square planar geometry for [Cu(ii)(PEMN)CH3COO]CHCl3, 1, and [Cu(ii)(PEMN)Cl], 2, and a distorted square-pyramidal geometry for [Cu(ii)(PEMN)NO3], 3, corresponding to the values of EPR g-matrix diagonal components. The copper(ii) complexes exhibited fluorescence in solution in the range of 370-410 nm.
