The tetraaza macrocyclic ligand 3,14-dimethyl-2,6,13,17-tetraazatricyclo $[14,4,0^{1.18} ,0^{7.12}]$docosa-2,12-diene(B), that contains two cyclohexane rings, has been prepared as its dihydroperchlorate salt by the nontemplate condensation of methyl vinyl ketone with 1,2-diaminocyclohexane and perchloric acid. Reduction of B with sodium borohydride produces 3,14-dimethyl-2,6,13,17-tetraazatricyclo$[14,4,0^{1.18},0^{7.12}]$docosane(C). Square planar Ni(Ⅱ) and Cu(Ⅱ) complexes of B and C have been prepared by the reaction of the metal ions and the ligands. Synthesis, characterization, and the properties of the ligands and their metal complexes are reported.
