Abstract:

Three novel ferrocene-based oligo(phenylene ethynylene)s molecular wires were prepared by the Sonogashira coupling reaction of 1,1′-diiodoferrocene with different acetylenic compounds. The structures of all the products were confirmed by 1H NMR, 13C NMR and MS. The electronic structures of these molecular wires were forecasted by a quantum chemistry calculation, which indicated that they might contain favorable charge transport properties due to their abnormal LUMO energy level continuous attenuation.

Key words: ferrocene, oligo(phenylene ethynylene)s, molecular wires
