Popis: | Persulfurated arenes are a fascinating class of functional molecules with a wide range of potential applications. Ferrocenes are also a multifaceted class of aromatic compounds that can easily be finetuned for an enormous variety of desired properties. A combination of both substance classes might yield an even wider field of applications. Herein, we describe the synthesis of two ferrocenes with one persulfurated cyclopentadienyl ring [C5(SR)5], with R=Me or Ph, together with their crystal structures, optical, and electrochemical properties. Both crystal structures show significant intramolecular sulfur‐iron interactions as well as weak intermolecular sulfur– contacts. Cyclovoltammetry of the [C5(SPh)5] compound shows a high oxidation potential of 651 mV vs. FcH/FcH+. Metalation: Ferrocenes with one persulfurated cyclopentadienyl ring [C5(SR)5]FeCp have been prepared from monobromoferrocene by a sequence of deprotonations and electrophilic thiolations. In their crystal structures, all cyclopentadienyl rings have their thiolate substituents in axial positions away from the iron atom. Cyclovoltammetric studies show that the sulfur substituents lead to significantly enhanced oxidative stability (see figure). |
