Water soluble ferrocenyl and polyferrocenyl compounds: synthesis and electrochemistry

Where Organometallics and Dendrimers Merge: The Incorporation of Organometallic Species into Dendritic Molecules

“…In somewhat related work, Salmon and Jutzi [36] have reported the synthesis of similar ferrocenefunctionalized DAB dendrimers to Kaifer but with only one ferrocene unit per dendrimer arm. The first step of the reaction sequence consists of reaction of the ferrocenyl aldehyde with the DAB amine.…”

Dendrimers as Multielectron Storage Devices

“…38 In agreement with expectations, it has been found that all generations of this dendritic family exhibit a single redox process in CH 2 Cl 2 or tetrahydrofuran with a potential of approximately 0.04 V versus SCE. This potential is considerably more negative (approximately 0.45 V) than those of analogous nonmethylated ferrocenyl dendrimers in the same medium, 39 and it results from the electron-donating effect of the eight methyl groups on the ferrocene rings. The fact that only a single redox process is observed implies simultaneous multielectron transfers at the same potential of the 4, 8, 16, and 32 octamethylferrocene peripheral units, and indicates that in the dendrimers such units are essentially noninteracting.…”

Synthesis and characterization of poly(propylene imine) dendrimer – Polypyrrole conducting star copolymer

“…The DCM was removed by rotary evaporation and yielded the desired product as an orange oil. The method used above is a slight modification of that reported by Smith et al [29] and Salmon & Jutzi [30]. The yield was 1.65 g, 75% (Scheme 1), the 1 H NMR analysis of PPI-2Py in ( …”
