TOWARDS CONFORMATIONALLY DEPENDENT REDOX-RESPONSIVE MOLECULAR SWITCHES - NEW POLYFERROCENE BIS BENZO CROWN-ETHER RECEPTORS

New polyferrocene bis benzo-15-crown-5 ligands have been prepared and shown to form 1:1 intramolecular sandwich complexes with the potassium cation. Electrochemical investigations reveal that both receptors undergo small anodic perturbations of the respective ferrocene-ferrocenium redox couples in t...

Résumé:New polyferrocene bis benzo-15-crown-5 ligands have been prepared and shown to form 1:1 intramolecular sandwich complexes with the potassium cation. Electrochemical investigations reveal that both receptors undergo small anodic perturbations of the respective ferrocene-ferrocenium redox couples in the presence of alkali metal cations. © 1995.
