Syntheses, Structures and Dynamics of 9‐(Ferrocenylmethyl)anthracene and Related Molecular Gears: Phosphorus to the Rescue!
Abstract
The rotational barriers of the anthracenyl and triptycyl units in 1‐(9‐anthracenyl)‐1′‐(9‐triptycyl)ferrocene were independently measured as 11.6 and 17.6 kcal mol –1 , respectively. Attempts to reduce 9‐ferrocenoylanthracene to 9‐(ferrocenylmethyl)anthracene, 3 , in which the sandwich moiety and the planar aromatic are linked through an angular methylene unit, were thwarted by reduction of the anthracene moiety to form …
