Syntheses, structure, and electron-transport properties of redox-active ferrocenyl-ethynyl molecules

Structural determinations and electrochemical properties in the series of multinuclear ferrocenyl¡Vethynyl complexes with formula [(£b5-C5H5)(P2)MII-C¡ÝC-(fc)n-C¡ÝC-MII(P2)(£b5-C5H5)]
(fc = ferrocenyl; M = Fe(II), Os(II); P2 = Ph2PCH2CH2PPh2 (dppe)) are
reported. These complexes undergo sequential reversible oxidation events from 0.0 to 1.0 V referred to the Ag/AgCl electrode in anhydrous CH2Cl2 solution and the low-potential waves have been assigned to the two end-capped metallic centers. The magnitude of the electronic coupling between the two terminal metallic centers in the series of complexes
was estimated by the electrochemical technique. Based on the correlation between the ¡µE1/2 values and the second redox potentials of the end-capping metallic centers in the series of complexes, a qualitative explanation for the difference of the electronic coupling is given. Furthermore, we attempt to fabricate the SAMs of ferrocenyl-ethynyl molecules on gold surface and confirmed by XPS spectrum and the RAIR spectrum. CV and CA electrochemistry technique was employed in studied electron transfer rate (k).
