Anion-dependent micelle formation using electro-generated ferrocene surfactants

Evans, Louise A.; Apreutesei, Daniela; Mehl, Georg; Wadhawan, Jay

Abstract

The syntheses and characterization of two ferrocene oils, 4-octyloxy-2-{5-[1,1,3,3-tetramethyl-3-(11-oxo-11-ferrocenyl-undecyl)-disiloxanyl]-pentyloxy}-benzoic acid 4'-undecyloxy-biphenyl-4-yl ester, Fc1SiM and an octakis(ferrocene) species, Fc8Si8M' are reported, and their biphasic aqueous voltammetry contrasted. Surprisingly, both hydrophobic species undergo single-wave electrochemical dissolution. This can be advantageous to electroanalytical applications. (C) 2008 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
