Synthesis and complexation behaviour of an effective octadentate complexone 1,4,7,10-tetraazacyclododecane-1,4,7,10-tetrakis[methylene(methylphosphinic acid)]

Abstract
The title ligand and a C-functionalised analogue have been prepared; the ligand is very strongly basic [pKa LH+, LH2+ < 14 (298 K)] and forms remarkably stable complexes with yttrium and calcium.
