1,1'-FERROCENEDICARBOXYLIC ACID Usage And Synthesis

Chemical Properties

dark brown powder

Uses

Reactant for preparation of:

• Planar chiral ferrocene-based amido-phosphine ligands as catalysts for asymmetric allylic alkylation reactions
• Potential antitumor agents
• Isostructural ferrocenyl coordination polymer hollow microspheres with H2 storage properties
• Prganometallic aromatic polyesters
• Manganese-lanthanide-ferrocene clusters

Purification Methods

It crystallises in orange-yellow crystals from AcOH and sublimes above 230o. The monomethyl ester has m 147-149o [Nesmeyanov & Reutov Dokl Acad Nauk USSS 115 518 1957]. The dimethyl ester has m 114-115o [Woodward et al. J Am Chem Soc 74, 3458 1953]. The diacid chloride has m 92-93o when recrystallised from pet ether. [Nesmeyanov & Reutov Dokl Acad Nauk SSSR 120 1267 1958, Kazitsyna et al. Dokl Acad Nauk SSSR 127 333 1959, Beilstein 16 IV 1811.]
