A series of 3,4-di-N-substituted 2,5-diferrocenyl thiophenes is reported with the aim to explore the electronic interaction between the organometallic termini over their bridging unit. The syntheses of thiophenes 1−4 were implemented on the basis of 2,5-diferrocenyl-3,4-dinitrothiophene (1), which is accessible within a Pd-promoted Suzuki− Miyaura C,C cross-coupling reaction. Reduction of the nitro functionalities and a subsequent methylation or condensation reaction gives 2,5-diferrocenyl-3,4-bis(N, (4) could be synthesized through conversion of 3 in a two-step reduction/methylation reaction. The spectroscopic characterization of 1−4 was complemented by the investigation of their structural properties in the solid state. The latter disclose no significant influence of the electronically different N substituents on the thiophene bond distances and angles in the solid state. UV−vis solvatochromic studies on thiophenes 1 and 3 in 40 different solvents offer a moderate positive solvatochromic shift of the MLCT absorption of 1; however, for pyrazine 3 a slight negative solvatochromism of the appropriate absorption band was observed. The electrochemical studies on thiophenes 1−4 reveal an increasing thermodynamic stability of the mixed-valent species (K C ) in the order 1 < 2 ≈ 3 < 4. In situ UV−vis−NIR spectroelectrochemical examinations verify these observations. Thus, the NIR absorptions of the corresponding mixed-valent species become more intense and less solvatochromic as the electron-donating effect and the extent of the electronic π system of the bridging unit increase. Hence, the electronic coupling between the iron-based redox centers over the thiophene-based core increases in the order 1 < 2 ≈ 3 < 4.
