Hydrogen bonding in sterically-hindered ferrocenes and related systems
Abstract
The aims of this project are the synthesis and characterisation of new types of chemical structure containing the electroactive ferrocene nucleus. There are three main strands to this work: (i) coupling reactions of ferrocenes, using Wittig reactions and other coupling reagents, to form electroactive oligomers and polymers; (ii) the design of host molecules for the formation of inclusion compounds; and (iii) the design of new electroactive ligands for metal complexation.
