Journal ArticleDOI
Some new and recent ferrocene- and ruthenocene-centred reagents for n-type silicon surfaces in photoelectrochemical use
TL;DR: The synthesis and characterisation of trichlorosilylruthenocene (1) and seven ferrocene derivatives, namely bis(1,1′-ferrocenediyl)germane (3), 1, 1,1,dichloro-2,2, 2,2′-dicarboxyferrocene (1, 1.1, 2.2, 3.1), bis( 1,2)-ferrocenyl-phenylphosphine (1.1)-silane (2), 1

TL;DR: X-ray diffraction studies of 3, 4 and 6 reveal polymeric (3) or tetranuclear (4, 6) structures formed via Tl-S bonds and AuTl or AuTL and AuAu contacts, all of which are luminescent in the solid state, but not in solution, where the metal-metal interactions are no longer present.
Journal ArticleDOI
Design of Neutral Metallomesogens from 5,5‐Dimethyldipyrromethane: Metal Ion Mediated Control of Folding and Hairpin Structures
Kelly A. Ames,Simon R. Collinson,Alexander J. Blake,Claire Wilson,Jason B. Love,Duncan W. Bruce,Bertrand Donnio,Daniel Guillon,Martin Schröder +8 more
TL;DR: In this paper, new ligands derived from 5,5-dimethyldipyrromethane and their corresponding neutral complexes with Zn (II) and Pd(II) are described.
Journal ArticleDOI
Precursor catenand complexes: synthesis, structure, and electrochemistry of bis(2,6-di-iminopyridyl) complexes of nickel(II). The single-crystal X-ray structureof [NiL42][BF4]2
TL;DR: In this article, the tridentate 2,6-di-iminopyridyl ligands (L) were used to obtain octahedral catenand complexes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Macrocyclic liquid crystals
Alexander J. Blake,Duncan W. Bruce,Ian Andrew Fallis,Simon L. Parsons,Heiko Richtzenhain,Steven A. Ross,Martin Schröder +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the synthesis of macrocycle-containing liquid crystals is reviewed with particular emphasis on derivatives of synthetic aza crowns, and a relationship between potential mesogen formation and the conformational flexibility of the incorporated crown thioether is suggested.
