Abstract:
1-Bromo-4-ferrocenylethynylbenzene was transformed into tris(4-ferrocenylethynylphenyl)boroxine and 4-ferrocenylethynylbenzoic acid, which were further converted into new rod-like ferrocenylacetylene and ferrocenylethylene derivatives. Crystal and molecular structures of tris(4-ferrocenylethynylphenyl)boroxine and (Z)-4-(2-chloro-2-ferrocenylethenyl)benzoic acid 3-(1-imidazolyl)propylamide were determined by single crystal X-ray analysis.
