Abstract
New ferrocene substituted calix[4 and 5]arenes have been prepared and the crystal structure of a lower-rim substituted bis ferrocene calix[4 ]arene (7) has been elucidated. The respective ferrocene/ferrocenium r edox-couples of compounds 6 (a calix[4]arene tetra ferrocene amide) an d 8 (a calix[5]arene pentaferrocene amide) are shown to be significant ly cathodically perturbed in the presence of anions by up to 160 mV in the presence of dihydrogen phosphate.
