MÖSSBAUER STUDIES OF BRIDGED FERROCENOPHANE DERIVATIVE’S POLYIODIDES
[2]Ferrocenophanes, the ring tilted ferrocene derivatives, were oxidized with iodine in benzene and studied by means of Mossbauer spectroscopy. The quadrupole splitting value of the compounds is found to be 3.70 mms−1 at 78 K, which is one of the largest found in ferrocene derivatives, suggesting the presence of a strong direct interaction between iron atoms and iodine atoms. The results were compared with [3] and [4] ferrocenophane’s polyiodides.
