REDOX-RESPONSIVE CROWN ETHERS CONTAINING A DIRECT LINK BETWEEN THE FERROCENE REDOX-ACTIVE CENTER AND A BENZO-CROWN ETHER - CRYSTAL-STRUCTURES OF A FERROCENE BENZO-15-CROWN-5 LIGAND AND OF IT SODIUM COMPLEX

The binding of Na+, K+ and Mg2+ to benzo-15-crown-5 and aza-15-crown-5 directly-linked ferrocenes results in shifts of the ferrocene oxidation wave to more positive potentials. The magnitude of these anodic shifts is related to the charge/radius ratio of the cationic guest. The results of an X-ray d...
