The Cu<sup>2+</sup>, Mn<sup>2+</sup>, and Fe<sup>3+</sup> complexes of a 14 membered macrocycle were synthesized and their antioxidant capacities were evaluated against ABTS and DPPH radicals, with the objective of collecting insights into the biomimetic role of the central metal ions. The macrocycle, abbreviated as H<sub>2</sub>L14, is a derivative of EDTA cyclized with 1,4-diamine, and the moderately flexible macrocyclic frame permits the formation of [ML14·H<sub>2</sub>O] chelates with octahe ...[more]
