Abstract
Polyferrocene macrocycles hold immense potential in the fields of molecular electronics and electrochemistry,primarily due to their multiple metal centers.However,developing highly efficient synthetic strategies for constructing these rings remains a significant challenge.In this study,we successfully synthesized tri-ferrocenyl macrocycles using Pt-mediated coupling strategy and determined their configuration using single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis,revealing a structure reminiscent of the Penrose Stair.We comprehensively investigated the macrocycle's structure,photophysical properties,and employed density functional theory(DFT)calculations to gain further insights.Notably,this macrocycle exhibits several advantageous features,including a flexible structure,good solubility,and a highly efficient synthetic pathway.
