Abstract:
A novel series of 1,2,3-substituted ferrocene-based wires a1-a2 and b4-b5 have been synthesized by using an iterative Pd-mediated Sonogashira cross-coupling methodology. The molecular structures of a2 and b3 were determined by single-crystal X-ray analysis. Electrochemical data showed that there was a strong electronic communication among the ferrocenyl moieties in b1-b5. The UV absorption spectra indicated that replacing the 1,1'-substituted ferrocene unit with a 1,2,3-substituted ferrocene moiety causes delocalization of electrons in the extended orbitals. The self-assembled monolayers of wire a1 and a2 on Au surfaces have been comprehensively characterized by electrochemistry and scanning tunneling microscopy break junction. The data demonstrated that 1,2,3-substituted ferrocene-based wires reduced the intermolecular - stacking, and furthermore solved the rotation problem in the 1,1-substituted ferrocene-based wires.
