Redox-Active Heterometallic Ferrocenylalkynyl Carbosilane Dendrimers Incorporating Os₃(CO)₁₀ Clusters

Abstract

First and second generations of carbosilane heterometallic dendrimers 7−10 have been prepared by reaction of the novel dendrimers 1−4, functionalized with ferrocenylethynyl and ferrocenylbutadiynyl, with Os3(CO)10(NCMe)2.
