Abstract

The design and synthesis of a new class of dendritic multiferrocenyl hexagons have been achieved via [3+3] coordination-driven self-assembly. The relative distribution of dendritic and ferrocenyl subunits on the periphery of supramolecular metallocycles can be precisely controlled. The structures of all compounds are confirmed by multinuclear NMR, ESI-MS/ESI-TOF-MS, and elemental analysis. The electrochemical properties of the newly designed dendritic multiferrocenyl complexes have been studied through cyclic voltammetry investigation.
