Complementary Use of Electrochemistry and Synthetic Redox Chemistry in the Oxidation of Decamethylferrocene: An Integrated Advanced Laboratory Experiment
Geiger, William E.
Journal of Chemical Education, v95 n9 p1648-1653 Sep 2018
An integrated pair of experiments has been developed to introduce undergraduate students to the ways in which electrochemistry can complement conventional synthetic chemistry involving redox reactions. Students first use cyclic voltammetry and linear scan voltammetry to characterize and quantify the products of the reaction between decamethylferrocene and the 4- nitrophenyldiazonium ion. In the following lab period, they synthesize the decamethylferrocenium ion as its tetrafluoroborate salt.
