Synthesis achieves 44% yield of a ferrocenyl ligand using various characterization techniques, indicating strong potential in transitioning metal complexes.
Ferrocenyl moieties are commonly utilized to tune properties of ligands, which, in turn, can tune properties of transition metal complexes. Herein, the synthesis of a new phenylpyridine ligand 4‐[(1 E )‐2‐ferrocenylethenyl]‐2‐pyridinylphenyl ( Fc ppyH) is reported with a 44% yield. The composition of this compound is verified by nuclear magnetic resonance, mass spectrometry, infrared, cyclic voltammetry, and single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction. Crystals of the title compound are formed in space group P 2 1 with two unique molecules in the asymmetric unit. Differences in the mean‐plane‐to‐mean‐plane angles of the phenyl, pyridinyl, and ferrocenyl moieties distinguish the unique molecules, and enable C–H··· π and C–H···N intermolecular interactions.
