Synthesis and Molecular Structure of Bis-Ferrocene-Containing Acyl Thiourea Derivatives

Ferrocene is a compound with excellent stability. In addition, it has very favourable electrochemical properties. So the synthesis, structure, electrochemistry and coordination behaviors of ferrocene-derivatives have attracted considerable attention in recent years.[1,2] Electrondonating atoms such as N, S, O in the derivatives are known for their coordination particularly with transition metals. [3] Two new bis-ferrocene-containing acyl thiourea derivatives are synthesized. The derivatives are confirmed by IR spectrum, 1H NMR and elemental analysis. These compoundshave many electrondonating atoms and two ferrocenes. The structure of one compound is shown below. The study onelectrochemistry and coordination behaviors is in the progress.……
