this merits panel are:

(1,4,8,11-tetra-azacyclotetradecane): X-Ray Structure and
Properties of the Dinuclear Complex”, J.C.S. Chem. Comm., 302-

Claims 7, 8 and 23 stand rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 103
as unpatentable over Lehn. Claims 7, 8 and 23 stand rejected
under 35 U.S.C. § 103 as unpatentable over Lehn, Rowatt and
Zimenkovskii in view of Williams. A new ground of rejection
was made in the examiner’s answer rejecting claims 7, 8 and 23
under 35 U.S.C. § 103 as unpatentable over Ciampolini and Lehn
in view of Kimura. We reverse all stated rejections for
reasons which follow. Pursuant to our authority under 37 CFR
3 Although only the Chemical Abstract is relied upon by the examiner in the
answer, the full article is cited and supplied to appellants in the Supplemental
Examiner’s Answer dated Mar. 13, 1995 (Paper No. 20). Therefore, for purposes of this
decision, we will refer to the full article.
