The 2-trans-6-dispiro (2) was reacted with excess monoamines to produce the tetraamino products (2a-2d). The one equimolar amount of the diamines and dialkoxides with 2 afforded the mono-diamino (2e and 2f) and mono-dialkoxy (2g and 2h) cyclotetraphosphazenes. Whereas, excess diamines and dialkoxides with 2 produced the bis-diamino (2i and 2j) and bis-dialkoxy (2k and 2l) bisferrocenyl-2-trans-6-dispirocyclotetraphosphazenes. The structures of the compounds were verified by elemental analyses, ESI-MS, FTIR, HSQC, HMBC, 1H, 13C, and 31P NMR techniques. The molecular structures of 2 and 2b were established by X-ray crystallography. Compounds 2e and 2f have two stereogenic P-atoms. Additionally, the structures of 2i-2l containing tetraspiro rings in the skeletons look similar a propeller. The Fc groups of the cyclotetraphosphazenes were found to be redox active with two-reversible electron oxidations. The antimicrobial ac...
