D. Osella et al., SYNTHESIS AND CHARACTERIZATION OF BIS(FERROCENYLETHYNYL) COMPLEXES OFPLATINUM(II) - A REINVESTIGATION OF THEIR ELECTROCHEMICAL-BEHAVIOR, INORGANIC CHEMISTRY COMMUNICATIONS, 1(7), 1998, pp. 239-245
We describe herein the synthesis and the electrochemical behaviour of
a series of bis( ferrocenylethynyl) complexes of platinum( II). In all
complexes, the electronic interaction between the redox-active iron c
ores of the ferrocenyl termini is small, indicating a moderate electro
nic delocalisation over the bis( cyclopentadienyl-acetylide) Pt chain.
