T. Oda et al., Control of the symmetry of binuclear ferrocene derivative by using chiral substituent and its mixed-valence state, J ORGMET CH, 637, 2001, pp. 820-822
The mixed-valence 1',1"'-bis((R)-2-phenylbutyl)-, 1',1"'-bis((S)-2-phenylbu
tyl)- and 1'-((R)-2-phenylbutyl)-1"'-((S)-2-phenylbutyl)-1,1"-biferrocenium
salts were investigated to reveal the importance of cation symmetry on the
mixed-valence states. (R,R) and (SS) samples never showed the perfect vale
nce detrapping, while (R,S) sample showed the detrapped-valence state at ro
om temperature. (C) 2001 Published by Elsevier Science B.V.
