Abstract

Abstract : We report the synthesis of metalorganic copolymers made from the palladium catalyzed Sonogashira cross-coupling reaction between various iron(ii ) clathrochelate building blocks with diethynyl–triptycene and fluorene derivatives. Abstract : We report the synthesis of metalorganic copolymers made from the palladium catalyzed Sonogashira cross-coupling reaction between various iron(ii ) clathrochelate building blocks with diethynyl–triptycene and fluorene derivatives. The target copolymers CCP1–5 were isolated in excellent yield and characterized by various instrumental analysis techniques. Interestingly, investigation of the copolymers' porosity properties discloses BET surface areas up to 337 m 2 g −1 for the target compounds bearing fluorinated iron(ii ) clathrochelate units CCP2, 5 . Moreover, the fluorinated copolymers display an outstanding uptake capacity of iodine with a maximum adsorption of 200 wt%. The target metalorganic copolymers CCP1–5 reveal very good adsorption of organic dyes, namely, methyl blue and methylene blue, from aqueous media.
