Synthesis, Characterization and Electrical Conductance of Ferrocenylazobenzene

Ferrocenylazobenzene was synthesized by condensing an aminoazobenzene dye with ferrocenecarboxylic acid previously treated with oxalyl chloride. The compound displayed an anticipated chemically reversible one-electron oxidation process and gave a formal potential, E° = 0.65 V. In the UV-Vis region,...
