Pentaphosphaferrocenes [Cp R Fe(η 5 -P 5 )] (Cp* = η 5 -C 5 Me 5 ) (A), Cp'' = η 5 -C 5 H 3 tBu 2 -1,3 (B)) are excellent building blocks for polymeric assemblies in supramolecular chemistry in combination with coinage metal salts of weakly coordinating anions such as AgSbF 6 . Adding rigid aromatic dinitriles ortho/meta/para-(NC) 2 C 6 H 4 in a one-pot reaction between [Cp R Fe(η 5 -P 5 )] and AgSbF 6 leads to various coordination polymers (CPs) by a three-component self-assembly. The sterical demand of the differently substituted cyclopentadiene ligands as well as the rigid constitution of the isomeric dinitriles (NC) 2 C 6 H 4 play a key role in the formation of the isolated CPs. All CPs were characterized by NMR spectroscopy, mass spectrometry, elemental analysis, and single-crystal Xray diffraction.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
