Abstract

Abstract: Four Iron(II) clathrochelate derived polymers (P1-4 ) were synthesized under mild reaction conditions using iron(II) chloride with benzene-1, 4-diboronic acid in presence of various vicinal dioxime moieties. The polymers were characterized by different instrumental analyses techniques and their structures were further confirmed by comparison of their respective synthesized prototypical monomers (M ). Evaluation ofP1-4 intrinsic microporosity was carried out by nitrogen adsorption measurements where polymerP4 reveals a Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) surface area of 412 m 2 /g and average pore volume of 0.36 cm 3 /g. Graphical abstract: Highlights: First report on polymers of intrinsic microporosity from iron(II) clathrochelate. Iron(II) clathrochelate derived polymers were synthesized in a one-step reaction. The polymers' intrinsic microporosity was explored by N2 adsorption measurements. Polymers with phenyls reveal a 412 m 2 /g BET surface area and 0.36 cm 3 /g pore size.
