The synthesis and full characterization of novel 1,1′-difunctionalized ferrocene metalloligands is described. While one cyclopentadienyl ring has been functionalized with 2,2′-bipyridine for secondary coordination, the second Cp decorated different aryl moieties containing electron withdrawing groups such as 4-(CF3)C6H4 (2A) 3,5-(CF3)2C6H3 (2B) or 4-(NO2)C6H4 (2C). newly developed were reacted ...
