Acetylferrocene is the organoiron compound with the formula (C 5 H 5)Fe(C 5 H 4 COCH 3). It consists of ferrocene substituted by an acetyl group on one of the cyclopentadienyl rings. It is an orange, air-stable solid that is soluble in organic solvents.
Ferrocene is an organometallic compound with the formula Fe(C 5 H 5) 2.The molecule is a complex consisting of two cyclopentadienyl rings sandwiching a central iron atom. It is an orange solid with a camphor-like odor that sublimes above room temperature, and is soluble in most organic solvents.
In electrochemistry, the Randles–Ševčík equation describes the effect of scan rate on the peak current (i p) for a cyclic voltammetry experiment. For simple redox events where the reaction is electrochemically reversible, and the products and reactants are both soluble, such as the ferrocene/ferrocenium couple, i p depends not only on the concentration and diffusional properties of the ...
Space-filling model of ferrocene, the archetypal sandwich compound. In organometallic chemistry, a sandwich compound is a chemical compound featuring a metal bound by haptic, covalent bonds to two arene (ring) ligands. The arenes have the formula C n H n, substituted derivatives (for example C n (CH 3) n) and heterocyclic derivatives (for ...
Ferrocenecarboxaldehyde, owing to the versatility of the formyl group, is a precursor to many ferrocene-modified compounds. With a Wittig reagent, it converts to vinylferrocene and related derivatives. [5] With primary amines, ferrocenecarboxaldehyde condenses to give imines. The azomethine derivative undergoes 1,3-cycloaddition to C 60. [6]
An increase in solvent polarity decreases the rates of reactions where there is less charge in the activated complex in comparison to the starting materials; A change in solvent polarity will have little or no effect on the rates of reaction when there is little or no difference in charge between the reactants and the activated complex. [6]
1. The change in the solvent polarity will influence the rate less than the equilibrium. 2. The rate constants will be characterized by opposite effect on the polarity: k 1 will slightly decrease with the increase of E T (30), and k −1 will increase under the same conditions. 3. The effect on k −1 will be larger than on k 1. [8]
The effect of increasing the scan rate can be used to measure the rate of interfacial electron transfer and/or the rates of reactions that are coupltransfer. This technique has been useful to study redox proteins, some of which readily adsorb on various electrode materials, but the theory for biological and non-biological redox molecules is the ...
