Abstract:
The unique redox properties of ferrocene have made it an excellent candidate in the application of molecular electronics. In this study, five new ferrocenamide-based derivatives were synthesized and their electrical properties as potential organic solar cells were evaluated. All of the synthesized compounds (1-5) were characterized via Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR), Fourier transform Infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), elemental analysis, Mass Spectrometer (MS), Ultraviolet-Visible (UV-Vis) spectrophotometer and electrochemical analysis. In elemental analysis, the experimental values of C, H, and N were comparable to the calculated theoretical values. This indicated that, the synthesized compounds were reasonably pure.
