Recent Progresses in ESR Studies on Ferrocenyl Compounds

doi:10.11938/cjmr20160314

Abstract

Abstract:

Ferrocenyl compounds were widely used and extensively studied due to their excellent thermal, redox, electronic, optic, magnetic and catalytic properties. Electron spin resonance (ESR) is a method that can be used to study paramagnetic behaviors, electronic structure, electron transfer and molecular interactions of ferrocenyl compounds. In addition, ESR possesses advantages such as high sensitivity, easy sample treatment and nondestructive testing. This article reviewed recent progresses in ESR studies on ferrocenyl compounds.

Key words: ESR, electronic structure, review, ferrocenyl compounds
