The synthesis and cyclic voltammetry of select ferrocene piano-stool isocyanide complexes
摘要:
Ferrocene piano-stool isocyanide complexes ([CpFeL(3)](+), Cp = eta(5)-C(5)H(5), L = tert-butyl isocyanide (1), cyclohexyl isocyanide (2), and 2,6-dimethylphenyl isocyanide (3)) are formed by chemical oxidation of ferrocene in the presence of a stoichiometric amount of isocyanide ligand (1: 3). The complexes are characterized by elemental analysis, routine spectroscopic methods (IR, (1)H NMR, (13)C NMR, and UV-Vis), and cyclic voltammetry. (C) 2011 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
