Synthesis and structure of the iron(iii) tris-chelate complex based on 1,1´-ferrocenediylbis(phenylphosphinic acid)

Influence of the Substituent's Size in the Phosphinate Group on the Conformational Possibilities of Ferrocenylbisphosphinic Acids in the Design of Coordination Polymers and Metal-Organic Frameworks

This paper illustrates how the size and type of substituent R in the phosphinate group of ferrocenyl bisphosphinic acids can affect conformational possibilities and coordination packing. It also demonstrates that H-phosphinate plays a key role in variational mobility, while Me- or Ph- substituents of the phosphinate group can only lead to 0D complexes or 1D coordination polymer. Overall, this paper provides valuable insights into the design and construction of coordination polymers based on ferrocene-contained linkers. It sheds light on how different reaction conditions and substituents can affect conformational possibilities and coordination packing, which could have significant implications for developing new polymers with unique properties.

Ferrocene-based P-chiral amidophosphinate: stereoselective synthesis and X-ray structural study

Racemic and enantiopure ferrocene-based P-chiral amidophosphinates have been simply and stereoselectively synthesized by ortho-lithiation of rac- or (R)-Ugi's amine and further reaction with amidochlorophenylphosphinate Cl-P(O)(Ph)NEt₂. This is the first example of an asymmetric reaction of ortho-lithiated Ugi's amine with tetracoordinated phosphorus(V) chlorides. The structures of rac- and (R)-Ugi's amine ferrocenyl(phenyl)phosphinic acid N,N-diethylamide have been extensively studied experimentally (NMR, X-ray analysis, electrochemistry). The CV first peak refers to the oxidation of the amine fragment, which is clearly seen when (R)-Ugi's amine ferrocenyl(phenyl)phosphinic acid N,N-diethylamide reacts with anhydrous acid. The addition of two equivalents of CF₃COOH leads to the protonation of nitrogen atoms, and a classical reversible wave of oxidation of Fe(II) to Fe(III) is observed.

The Phosphinate Group in the Formation of 2D Coordination Polymer with Sm(III) Nodes: X-ray Structural, Electrochemical and Mössbauer Study

A coordination polymer has been synthesized using ferrocene-based ligand-bearing phosphinic groups of 1,1'-ferrocene-diyl-bis(H-phosphinic acid)), and samarium (III). The coordination polymer's structure was studied by both single-crystal and powder XRD, TG, IR, and Raman analyses. For the first time, the Mössbauer effect studies were performed on ferrocenyl phosphinate and the polymer based on it. Additionally, the obtained polymer was studied by the method of cyclic and differential pulse voltammetry. It is shown that it has the most positive potential known among ferrocenyl phosphinate-based coordination polymers and metal-organic frameworks. Using the values of the oxidation potential, the polymer was oxidized and the ESR method verified the oxidized Fe(III) form in the solid state. Additionally, the effect of the size of the phosphorus atom substituent of the phosphinate group on the dimension of the resulting coordination compounds is shown.
