Hexaferrocenylbenzene was successfully synthesized using a six-fold Negishi type ferrocenylation reaction. This method efficiently attaches ferrocenyl groups to a benzene core, creating a novel organometallic compound.

Area of Science:

  • Organometallic Chemistry
  • Synthetic Chemistry

Background:

  • Ferrocene derivatives are valuable in materials science and catalysis.
  • Developing efficient synthetic routes for polyferrocenyl compounds is an ongoing challenge.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To synthesize a novel hexaferrocenylbenzene molecule.
  • To explore the utility of Negishi type coupling for creating highly substituted ferrocene derivatives.

Main Methods:

  • Six-fold Negishi type ferrocenylation reaction.
  • Utilized hexabromo- or hexaiodobenzene as starting materials.
  • Palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling.

Main Results:

  • Successful synthesis of hexaferrocenylbenzene.
  • Demonstrated the feasibility of exhaustive ferrocenylation on an aromatic core.
