Synthesis, structure, and properties of a mononuclear ferrocenophane bearing two carbodiimide units as bridges
文摘
A novel bis(carbodiimido)[11]ferrocenophane was synthesized using a methodology involving an aza, Wittig reaction of the 1,1′-bis(triphenylphosphoranylideneamino)ferrocene with the commercially available 1,3-bis(2-isocyanatopropan-2-yl)benzene. Moreover, its electrochemical and chemical properties were also examined. The ureido derivative formed when the bis(carbodiimido)ferrocenophane was hydrolyzed under acidic conditions, behaves as a chemodosimeter for sensing nitrite anions in aqueous solutions.
