Redox-active centres.

摘要

A polymetallocene macrocycle which comprises a ring of alternating in-chain aromatic residues and in-chain alkylene units and which bears four or more transition metal complexes or metallocenyl groups. Such macrocycles are redox-active hydrophobic host molecules potentially useful as electron transfer mediatiors, for chemical sensor design, as redox catalysts or as Second Harmonic Generator material.
