Halogen bonding-enhanced electrochemical halide anion sensing by redox-active ferrocene receptors

Abstract

The first examples of halogen bonding redox-active ferrocene receptors and their anion electrochemical sensing properties are reported. Halogen bonding was found to significantly amplify the magnitude of the receptor's metallocene redox-couple's voltammetric responses for halide sensing compared to their hydrogen bonding analogues in both acetonitrile and aqueous–acetonitrile solvent media.
