Novel complexing processes in the CuII–dithiooxamide–methanal, CuII–dithiooxamide–ethanal and CuII–dithiooxamide–propanone triple systems proceeding under specific conditions, to copper(II)hexacyanoferrate(II) gelatin-immobilized matrix systems in contact with aqueous-alkaline (pH ∼ 12) solutions containing dithiooxamide and methanal, ethanal or propanone, have been studied. It has been shown that template synthesis leading to the formation of macrocyclic coordination compounds (2,8-dithio-3,7-diaza-5-oxanonandithioamide-1,9)copper(II), (2,8-dithio-3,7-diaza-4,6-dimethyl-5-oxanonandithio-amide-1,9)copper(II) and (4,4′,6-trimethyl-2,8-dithio-3,7-diazanonen-6-dithioamide-1,9)copper(II), respectively, takes place under such conditions. Dithiooxamide, methanal, ethanal and propanone act as ligand synthons in these processes.
