Abstract

This study compares the nitro group position of thienyl imines bound to organometallic fragments, and the respective electrochemical and anti-parasitic properties. Ferrocenyl and cyrhetrenyl imines derived from 4-nitrothiophene (1a-3a) and 5-nitrothiophene (1b-3b) were synthesized and characterized by spectroscopic techniques. In addition, molecular structure of 1a, 2a and 3a were determined by X-ray crystallography.
