Synthesis, crystal structures, electrochemical and protein-binding properties of ferrocene–indole conjugates
Abstract
This paper describes the synthesis, characterisation and electrochemical properties of three redox-active NC2H4-indole) (Fc1), N-(ferrocenylmethyl)tryptamine (Fc–CH2NHC2H4-indole) (Fc2) and indole-3-(N-(6-(N-ferrocenylmethyl)aminohexyl))carboxamide (Fc–CH2NHC6H12NHCO-indole) (Fc3). The X-ray crystal structures of Fc1 and Fc2 have been investigated. The recognition of the redox-active
