The condensation of 1,4-benzenediboronic acid with catechol gives 1,4-bis(benzodioxaborole)benzene. Upon crystallization, the ester aggregates with the N-donor ligands through dative B-N bonds. Depending on the nature of the pyridyl ligand, molecularly defined macrocycles or polymeric structures are obtained. 1D polymers are formed with 4,4-bipyridine and 1,2-di(4-pyridyl)ethylene, whereas a 2D network is obtained with the tetradentate ligand tetra(4-pyridylphenyl)ethylene. These results highlight the utility of dative B-N bonds in structural supramolecular chemistry and crystal engineering.en10.1002/chem.201202313info:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessboronic acidsdative bondsmacrocyclespolymerssupramolecular chemistryArticle18461486714874WOS:000310800200038Q1Q1
