Abstract
The reaction of diethanolamine with diferrocenylmethyl carbonium (2) that was generated by diferrocenylmethanol (1) treated with BF3 in CH2Cl2 provided the synthesis of title compound diferrocenylmethoxyethylamine (3). The structure of 3 was determined by the X-ray diffraction (XRD) with crystal data: monoclinic P21/n space group and a=5.8419(14) Å, b=13.572(3) Å, c=23.839(6) Å, α=90°, β=91.827(5)°, γ=90°, V=1889.2(8) Å3, Z=4, D c =1.558 mg·m−3, μ=1.548 mm−1, F(000)=920. The intra- and inter-molecular H bonding modes in 3 were demonstrated both in molecular crystal structure and IR spectral characterization.
