Abstract:
Chapter 1 describes the synthesis and characterisation of a series of novel ferrocene
containing polyphenylene compounds. These consist of polyphenylene molecules
containing one, two, four and six ferrocene moieties. Also described is the formation
of the first hexa-peri-benzocoronene (HBC) supporting a fully conjugated ferrocene
moiety. UV-vis spectroscopy results indicate that the cyclopentadienyl rings of the
ferrocenyl units tilt to differing degrees and this has consequences for subsequent
cyclodehydrogenation attempts. The HBC supporting a fully conjugated ferrocene
moiety undergoes an anodic shift in its redox potential when compared to ferrocene
signifying the electron-withdrawing nature of the HBC.
