Abstract

A series of clathrochelate polymers are reported by reacting iron(II) chloride with 9,9-dialkyl fluorene-2,7-diboronic acid and various vicinal dioxime units. The novel polymers were fully characterized by 1H and 13C nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), gel permeation chromatography (GPC), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and UV–Vis absorption spectroscopy. The linearly-linked 2D organometallic polymers form oragnogel from 10 wt% concentrations in organic solvents of low and medium polarity.
