Ferrocenyldimethyl-[2.2]-cryptand: solid state structure of the external hydrate and alkali and alkaline-earth-dependent electrochemical behaviour
Abstract
1,1′-(1,4,10,13-Tetraoxa-7,16-diazacyclooctadecane-7,16-diyldimethyl)ferrocene, ferrocenyldimethyl-[2.2]-cryptand 1, binds water on its external face rather than internally and exhibits electrochemical behaviour that is strongly dependent on alkali and alkaline earth metal cations.
