Axial ligand mediated switchable rotary motions in a ferrocene-bridged diiron(III) porphyrin dimer

In the present work, we have utilized ferrocene-bridged diiron(III) porphyrin dimer and investigate the rotary motions mediated by axial ligands exploiting conformational flexibility of the ferrocene linker. Diiron(III) porphyrin dimer can switch easily between the syn and anti rotamers reversibly based on the axial coordination and thereby forming complexes with different structure and properties for the development of synthetic molecular...
