Diferrocenyl diselenides: excellent thiol peroxidase-like antioxidants

Abstract

Synthesis, structure and thiol peroxidase-like antioxidant activity of several diaryl diselenides having intramolecularly coordinating amino groups are described; the diselenides having both tertiary amino groups and redox-active ferrocenyl units show excellent peroxidase activity.
