Owing to its topography, the catenand (3) forms highly inert copper(I) or proton catenates; the dissociation rate law indicates that, in contrast with complexes of (2), no important geometrical change takes place during decomplexation.
                                    由于其地形,连环(3)形成高度惰性的
铜(I)或质子链。离解速率定律表明,与(2)的络合物相反,在络合物分解过程中没有发生重要的几何变化。
