Synthesis, crystal structures, electrochemical properties, and complexation of ferrocene-based compounds: 1,2-bis(dimethyldithiocarbamate)ferrocene and 1,2-bis(benzothiazol-2-ylthio)ferrocene

Ferrocene-based metalloligands have various applications in material sciences due to their stability in air and redox active properties. Two ferrocene-based compounds, 1,2-bis(dimethyldithiocarbamate)ferrocene (1) and 1,2-bis(benzothiazol-2-ylthio)ferrocene (2), were synthesized from 1,1′-dibromoferrocene and the corresponding disulfides via two steps. The reaction of 1 with PdCl2(PhCN)2 formed a 1:1 metal:ligand complex, [PdCl2(1)]. Compounds...
