Conclusions

  1. 1.

    Electrolytic reduction of 3-formyl-[3]-ferrocenophane and acetylferrocene proceeds through the anion radical formation step.

  2. 2.

    The influence of the structure on the behavior of the anion radicals being formed manifests itself only in nonaqueous solutions, in which the anion radical of acetylferrocene breaks down with rupture of the bond between the metal and the cyclopentadiene ring, whereas the anion radicals of [3]-ferrocenophanes retain the ferrocene structure, the break-down of which is prevented by the three-carbon bridge.
