The direct template macrocyclization of 2,3 butanedione monooxime hydrazone (HDXO) with ferrocenylboronic acid on the iron(II) ion matrix afforded the ferrocenylboron capped semi clathrochelate iron(II) oximehydrazonate. The H + ion catalyzed macrocyclization of this precursor with an excess of triethyl orthoformate gave the clathrochelate complex with syn,syn,syn orientation of the ethoxy substituents relative to the 1,3,5 triazacyclohexane ring. The complexes synthesized were characterized using elemental analysis, IR and UV-Vis spectroscopies, MALDI TOF mass spectrometry, 1 H and 13 C{ 1 H} NMR, 57 Fe Mössbauer spectroscopies, and X ray diffraction analysis.
