TPP-pendant cyclam with benzyl alcohol in CCl 4 . The TPP-pendant cyclam formed stable 1:1 metal inclusion complexes with Ni II and Mn III . The TPPO-pendant cyclam yielded a 1:1 Ni II complex which was the best catalyst among the cyclam-Ni II and -Mn III complexes for epoxidation of trans -stilbene with NaClO in CH 2 Cl 2 . Gold(I) reacted with TPP-pendant cyclam to yield a stable 1:1 complex, in which
