Abstract
Abstract Electrode reactions of mono-, di- and tri-bridged ferrocenophanes ([3]Fcp, [4]Fcp, [3][3]Fcp, [4][3]Fcp, [4][4]Fcp, [3][3][3]Fcp, [4][4][3]Fcp and [4][4][4]Fcp) in acetonitrile were investigated by direct current polarography, pulse polarography, and cyclic voltammetry. The oxidation of these compounds proceeds reversibly as a one-electron process. The linear relationship between the half-wave potential and the number of methylene groups was obtained for ferrocene and ferrocenophanes other than [3][3]Fcp and [3][3][3]Fcp. The Taft substituent constants of trimethylene and tetramethylene groups were estimated.
