Synthesis of a new family of hexakisferrocenyl hexagons and their electrochemical behavior

J Org Chem. 2008 Nov 7;73(21):8553-7. doi: 10.1021/jo801692v. Epub 2008 Oct 8.

Abstract

The design and synthesis of two new hexakisferrocenyl hexagons has been achieved via coordination-driven self-assembly wherein the size and relative distribution of six ferrocene moieties has been precisely controlled. Insight into the structure and electronic properties of these supramolecules was obtained through electrochemical studies.
