F. Moulines et al., ORGANOMETALLIC MOLECULAR TREES AS MULTIELECTRON AND MULTIPROTON RESERVOIRS - CPFE-INDUCED NONAALLYLATION OF MESITYLENE AND PHASE-TRANSFER-CATALYZED SYNTHESIS OF A REDOX-ACTIVE NONAIRON COMPLEX(), Angewandte Chemie, International Edition in English, 32(7), 1993, pp. 1075-1077
A reservoir of 9 electrons and 27 protons, complex 1 has 8 +/- 1 quasi
-equivalent redox centers. It is prepared from CpFe(eta6-mesitylene)!
+ by nonaallylation of the three methyl substituents, demetalation, co
nversion into the corresponding nonaol, and phase-transfer-catalyzed r
eaction with CpFe-(FC6H4Me)!.
