Molecular batteries: synthesis and characterization of a dendritic 19-electron FeI complex that reduces C60 to its mono-anion†
Abstract
Both redox forms of the dendrimer [dendr-64-NHCOCpFeII(η6-C6Me6)]64+/0, 6/7, are synthesized and characterized, and the 19-electron form reduces C60 to [dendr-64-NHCOCpFeII(η6-C6Me6)]64+(C60−˙)64, 8.
