“Figure Eight” Cyclooctapyrroles: Enantiomeric Separation and Determination of the Absolute Configuration of a Binuclear Metal Complex

Abstract
The hypothesized racemate separation of cyclooctapyrroles with chiral figure eight conformations—and of metal complexes derived from these ligands—has been realized. The cyclooctapyrrole 1 (as hexadecaethyl derivative), which according to NMR analysis exhibits restricted mobility, and its binuclear palladium and copper complexes could be separated into stable enantiomers by preparative chromatography on a chiral phase. In the case of the palladium complex and the free ligand 1 it was also possible to determine the absolute configuration of the enantiomers.
