Fluorinated lithium 1,3-diketonates as reagents to modify podands and crown-ethers

Fluorinated enaminoketones, a new type of ligands, bearing two independent coordination centers (polyether's and fluorinated enaminoketones fragments) have been obtained. The crystal structure of the Cu(II) complex of 1,5-bis-[2-(4,4',4'-trifluoro-1'-methyl-3-oxo-but-1'-enylamino)-phenoxy]-3-oxapentane (10) has been elucidated by X-ray crystallography. The results obtained show that the complex 10 consists of two crystallographically independent molecules C26H24CuF6N2O5 (A and B), and the metal atom in the complex 10 has four-coordinated arrangement, as a polyhedron with a distorted square with two nitrogen and two oxygen atoms located in corners.
