An Efficient Synthesis of the First Electroactive Phosphorus-containing Bisferrocene Macrocycles

Article abstract of DOI:10.1039/c39950000585

Condensation reactions of the phosphodihydrazide XP(Ph)(NMeNH2)2 (X = O 1a, S 1b) with ferrocene-1,1'-dicarboxaldehyde 2 afford in good yield the first examples of phosphorus ferrocenyl macrocycles Fe2Fe (X = O 3a, S 3b) and 3b can be converted to the new compounds Fe2Fe 5 and 2Fe>2 6 by reaction with, respectively, LAH and CF3SO3Me; 5 represents a novel prototype of an anion receptor which electrochemically recognises the H2PO4^-, HSO4^- and Cl^- anions.
