Am. Allgeier et Ca. Mirkin, SYNTHESIS AND CHARGE-DEPENDENT BINDING-AFFINITY OF A NEW REDOX-ACTIVEPOLYMERIC LIGAND, Organometallics, 16(13), 1997, pp. 3071-3073
The synthesis and characterization of a new, polymeric, redox-active l
igand with switchable binding affinities for transition metals are rep
orted. Polymer 2 is based on p-ferrocenylphenyl acrylate and complexes
the (eta(5)-C5Me5)Ru+ fragment. Oxidation of the polymeric ligand cha
nges its binding constant for Ru by over two orders of magnitude.
