Abstract
A new heterometallic electroactive compound having the ferrocenyl moiety attached to the platinum atom through an amidine functionality has been prepared viaPt(II)-mediated nucleophilic addition of β-aminoethylferrocene to a benzonitrileligand. This neutral receptor shows remarkable electrochemical anion-sensing redox response to H2PO4−.
