The mixing of equimolar quantities of ferrocenylaldehydes and aromatic amines in a solvent-free environment provided excellent yields of ferrocenylimines. After mixing the aldehydes and amines, a melt formed which eventually solidified to the product. An analytically pure sample of the product was obtained by cold recrystallization. 2004 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.

The preparation of a series of substituted biphenylferrocenes via a modified Suzuki reaction between 4-bromophenylferrocene and substituted acids is described. The X-ray crystal structure of 4′-formly-4-biphenylferrocene is reported and this compound is then incorporated into the first series of ferrocenomesogens containing the ferrocenylbiphenyl unit. The synthesis of a series of arylferrocenylphenyl ethers and arylferrocenylphenyl amines is also described.
