Rational design and synthesis of a new organometallic ligand, 1-ferrocenyl-3-(5-bromopyridyl)-prop-3-enol-1-one and its heteronuclear coordination polymer, {Cu[1-ferrocenyl-3-(5-bromopyridyl)prop-1,3-dionate] _2} _n

摘要

A new bifunctional organometallic ligand was synthesized, by reacting ferroceneacyl anion with ethyl-5-bromonicotinic acid, isolated, and characterized as 1-ferrocenyl-3-(5-bromopyridyl)-prop-3-enol-1-one (HL _1). This new ligand reacts with Cu(II) salt to yield a new two-dimensional (2D) heteronuclear (Fe-Cu) coordination polymer of type [Cu(L _1) _2] _n. Single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis of both the ligand and the coordination polymer is provided in this report.
