The ferrocenyl compound,N-phenylbis(ferrocenecarboxyl)imide (C28H23NO2Fe2,Mr=517.17),was synthesized and structurally characterized by means of X-ray single-crystal dif-fraction. It crystallizes in monoclinic,space group C2/c with a=21.374(14),b=10.430(7),c= 10.741(7) ,β=114.184(8)°,V=2184(2) 3,Z=4,Dc=1.573 g/cm3,F(000)=1064,μ(MoKα)= 1.355 mm–1,T=291(2) K,the final R=0.0548 and wR=0.1437 for 1524 observed reflections with I > 2σ(I). In this compound,the nitrogen atom links two ferrocenyl groups and one phenyl group forming a novel imido derivative.
Reaction of Zn(NO_3)_2.6H_2O with 3-(4-carboxylphenylamino)-1-ferrocenyl-2-butylen-1-one (HL) and 4,4'-bipyridine (4,4'- bipy) in methanol solution resulted in a novel ladder-like coordination polymer {[Zn_2L_2(μ_2-L)_2(4,4'-bipy)_2].MeOH}_n (1).Its crystal structure,thermal and electrochemical properties are presented.
