extremely inert, so much so that removal of the metal is often<br />
impossible. Nonmetal template syntheses of polyaza cages<br />
have also been reported. 53 A number of interesting variations<br />
utilizing the template-assisted condensation of formaldehyde<br />
and amines have also resulted in structurally new macrocycles<br />
such as (27). 54<br />

3.2 Polythia, Polyphospha, and Polyarsa Macrocycles<br />
One of the reasons for the relative ‘late-blooming’ of the<br />
thioether macrocycles can be found in synthetic difficulties.<br />
While the polyaza and polyoxa macrocycles can often utilize<br />
template effects in controlling the critical condensations,<br />
polythia condensations are more limited in this area. In<br />
general, these macrocycles are made from condensation of the<br />
appropriate polythiane with a dibromoalkane (Scheme 5). 55<br />
Synthetic procedures and yields have been greatly enhanced by<br />
the addition of high dilution techniques. 56,57 A cage-like sulfur<br />
macrocycle has been reported as an analog of the nitrogencontaining<br />
sepulchrates (28). 58 Mixed nitrogen–sulfur cages<br />
can also be obtained. 58<br />

Polyphospha macrocycles can be made via template<br />
condensations of coordinated polyphosphine ligands and<br />
dibromoalkanes (Scheme 6). 59,60<br />
Polyarsa macrocycles can be made by the reaction of<br />
lithiated polyarsanes with a dichloroalkane (Scheme 7). 26,60<br />
3.3 Mixed Donor Macrocycles<br />
Simple mixed donor macrocycles, such as aza–oxa,<br />
aza–thia, oxa–thia, and analogous phospha and arsa analogs<br />
are generally achieved via combinations of the routes used for<br />
synthesis of the ‘pure’ donor analogs. Since the possibilities<br />
are so extensive they will not be treated here, but are found<br />
elsewhere. 16,60 New mixed donor phosphorus techniques<br />
have been devised for phospha–thia and phospha–aza<br />
macrocycles. 61,62
