Hybrid materials comprising ferrocene and diaminoborane moieties: linear concatenation versus macrocyclization

Chem Commun (Camb). 2024 Oct 10;60(82):11706-11709. doi: 10.1039/d4cc03813d.

Abstract

Combination of borane and diaminoferrocene monomers by Si/B exchange condensation reactions afforded either diazabora-[3]ferrocenophanes or, via stepwise processes, larger macrocycles and a series of linear oligomers. Additional incorporation of p-phenylene moieties in the backbone yielded alternating concatenation.
