Pt(ii)-activated coupling of aminoethylferrocene with benzonitrile. A facile access route to a new redox-active bis(ferrocenyl-amidine) anion sensor†
Abstract
A new heterometallic electroactive compound having the ferrocenyl moiety attached to the platinum atom through an amidine functionality has been prepared viaPt(II)-mediated nucleophilic addition of β-aminoethylferrocene to a
