Terpyridine-based metallopolymer thin films as active layer in ammonia sensor device
International audience; A metal-containing polymer has been prepared by electropolymerization of an homoleptic Ru(II)-terpyridine complex bearing pyrrole heterocycles. The polymer is obtained as a thinfilm at the surface ofelectrodes, and has been characterized by electrochemical measurements, XPS and microscopy. It hasbeen shown that this polymer acts as an active gas sensitive layer since it enables the detection of anammonia gasflow through layer’s resistivity measurements.
Synthesis, crystallographic and electrochemical study of ethynyl[2.2]paracyclophane derived cobalt metallatetrahedranes
Abstract A series of alkynyl cobalt complexes [Co2(μ-η2-HCC–PCP)(CO)6−nLn] [n = 0 (2); n = 2, L2 = dppa (3), dppm (4), dcpm (6), 2 P(OPh)3 (7)] and [Co2(CO)4L2]2(μ-η2:μ-η2-HCC–PCP–CCH)] (L2 = dppm (8), dcpm (9); (PCP = [2.2]paracyclophane) has been prepared and characterized. The molecular structures of 3 and 4, as well as that of [Co2(CO)4(μ-CO)2(μ2-dcpm)] (5), have been determined by X-ray diffraction. Electrochemical studies (Cyclic Voltammetry, Rotating Disk Electrode) and luminescence spectroscopy have been used to evaluate the extent of the electronic communication through the PCP motif using the “Co2C2” centres as a probe. No electronic coupling between the Co2(CO)n centres via the b…
A missing member in the family of chalcogenophene-substituted 2,2′:6′,2″-terpyridine: 4′-(tellurophen-2-yl)-2,2′:6′,2″-terpyridine, its Ru(II) complex and its electropolymerization as a thin film
Abstract The new terpyridine derivative 4’-(tellurophen-2-yl)-2,2′:6′,2″-terpyridine and its homoleptic Ru(II) complex have been prepared and characterized by different techniques (NMR, UV–Vis, mass spectrometry). Additionally, a thin polymer film was obtained through electrochemical oxidation and coupling of tellurophene moieties. The obtained organic coating showed very interesting electrochemical and electrochromic properties, thanks to its Ru(terpy)2 groups.
(2,2‐Dibromovinyl)ferrocene as a Building Block for the Assembly of Heterodinuclear Complexes – Preparation of an σ‐Alkenylpalladium Complex and Dimetallic Dithioether Complexes
The oxidative addition of (2,2-dibromovinyl)ferrocene [Br2C=C(H)–Fc] (1) to [Pd(PPh3)4] yields the heterodinuclear σ-alkenyl complex trans-[{Pd(Br)(PPh3)2}–C(Br)=C(H)–Fc] (2). Nucleophilic attack of sodium thiolates on 1 unexpectedly affords the vinyl thioether derivatives (Z)-[(RS)(H)C=C(H)–Fc] (4a: R = Ph; 4b: R = tBu; 4c: R = Et). Complexes 4a and 4c can also be prepared by addition of NaSR across the triple bond of Fc–C≡C–H (3). Addition of an excess of NaSR to 1 affords the dithioether derivatives (Z)-[(RS)(H)C=C(SR)–Fc] (5a: R = Ph; 5b: R = p-tolyl; 5c: R = Et). An addition/elimination sequence is suggested to account for this surprising result. The yield of 5c is very low due to a co…
