Application of the allylboration reaction of terminal acetylenes with allyldihaloboranes for the preparation of capping agents for the synthesis of precursors of polymeric iron(II) clathrochelates

Template condensation on the iron(II) ion matrix of three cyclohexanedione-1,2-dioxime molecules with esters of 1,4-pentadienylboronic acids afforded apically functionalized bis(diolefin)-containing clathrochelates, which are new potential monomers for the preparation of functionalized carbochain polymers. The complexes were characterized by the data of elemental analysis, UV-Vis spectroscopy, 1H, 11B, and 13C NMR spectroscopy, 57Fe Mössbauer spectroscopy, IR spectroscopy, and MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry. The molecular and crystal structures of the clathrochelates synthesized and the electron density distribution on a molecule of one of them were determined by X-ray diffraction analysis.
