Novel Zn(ll)/Cd(ll) complexes based on ferrocenyl terpyridine: Crystal structures, electrochemical and third-order nonlinear optical properties using tunable femtosecond laser
A series of metal complexes based on the ferrocenyl terpyridine were synthesized and fully characterized. The electrochemical properties of the complexes 1-6 were studied by cyclic voltammetric experiments. The third-order nonlinear optical properties in the near-IR range were investigated by the Z-scan technique.
