Abstract The synthesis and characterization of a new 24-membered tetramide macrocycle (6) related to Leigh's macrocycles and catenanes is reported. The replacement of p-xylylenediamine (Leigh) by m-xylylenediamine (this work) strongly modifies the geometry and properties of the new macrocycle. NMR spectroscopy (in DMSO‑d6 solution) and X-ray crystallography have been used to characterize compound 6. The structural features in the crystal (conformational aspects and H-bonding) have been discussed comparatively to two similar macrocycles NEWHIJ and UJUNOC.
