One-dimensional Anisotropic Metal-Organic Module Containing a Pt-6 Chain Terminated with Redox Active Ferrocenyl Units
A 1D anisotropic hexaplatinum chain with redox-active terminal ligands, [Pt-6(mu-H)(mu-dpmp)(4)(FcDipNC)(2)](PF6)(3) (7) (dpmp: bis(diphenylphosphinomethyl)phenylphosphine, FcDipNC: 2,6-dlisopropyl-4-(ferrocenylethynylene)phenyl isocyanide), was synthesized, its structure and electrochemical behavior were elucidated in comparison with those of [Pt-6(mu-H)(mu-dpmp)(4)(DipNC)(2)](PF6)(3) (6) (DipNC: 2,6-diisopropylphenyl isocyanide), and the module was found to undergo two stepwise two-electron oxidations.
