Facile Self-Assembly of Supramolecular Hexakisferrocenyl Triangles via Coordination-Driven Self-Assembly and Their Electrochemical Behavior

A novel family of hexakis(ferrocenyl) triangles has been successfully constructed from newly designed 60 degrees ferrocenyl building blocks via coordination-driven self-assembly. The structures of all triangles were characterized by multinuclear NMR (H-1 and P-31), ESI-TOF-MS, and elemental analysis, and their electrochemical behavior has been investigated.
