Synthesis, structural characterisation and bonding in an anionic hexavadate bearing redox-active ferrocenyl groups at the periphery

Abstract

An anionic hexavanadate with pendant ferrocenyl groups was prepared by condensation of [tris(hydroxymethyl)carbamoyl]ferrocene with (Bu4N)3[H3V10O28] and characterised by a combination of spectroscopic and electrochemical methods, X-ray diffraction analysis and DFT calculations.
