Abstract
A series of new dendritic platinum bisferrocenylacetylide complexes have been synthesized utilizing the coupling reaction of trans-Pt complexes with C-H bonds in alkynes as key steps. These new bimetallic dendrimers were fully characterized by multinuclear NMR ( 1H, 13C, and 31P) and mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF-MS and CSI-TOF-MS). Electrochemical studies of these complexes were carried out and revealed that all of the redox moieties are stable, independent, and electrochemically active. In addition, all metallodendrimers show one-electron reaction responses, and the increased sizes of these complexes did not exhibit a dramatic influence on the diffusion coefficient.
