“…[17] Attractive is also that the Lewis acidity of the borane moiety can be tuned through reversible redox chemistry at the metal centers. [18,19] Prior efforts by our group involved studies on the binding properties of heteronuclear bidentate 1-stannyl-2-borylferrocene derivatives, which are obtained in their racemic form by a rearrangement reaction from 1,1'-bis(trimethylstannyl) ferrocene and boron halides RBCl 2 (R = Cl, Ph, C 6 F 5 ). [13,14] We have demonstrated that the bidentate Lewis acid 1,2-Fc-Abstract: Enantiomerically pure metalated 2-(1-naphthyl)ferrocene (NpFc) derivatives NpFcM (M = SnMe 3 , HgCl) were prepared and characterized by multinuclear NMR and UV/Vis spectroscopy, cyclic voltammetry, and elemental analysis.…”
