Abstract: | Langmuir monolayer and Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) films of cyclopalladated ferrocenylimine 1 were prepared and characterized. The surface pressure (π)-area (A) isotherm of complex 1 indicated the formation of highly condensed monolayer on the subphase. Ultraviolet-visible (UV-vis) and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy showed that complex 1 monolayer was transferred successfully onto solid supports. Atomic force microscopy (AFM) image suggested that LB films transferred on the solid substrate were well-ordered, homogeneous. Cyclic voltammograms of LB films deposited on glassy carbon electrodes showed quasi-reversible oxidation/reduction waves of ferrocene moiety. From the average thickness of monolayer, the hydrocarbon chain could be fairly directed perpendicular to the substrates. Finally, LB films of complex 1 presented a largely improved catalytic efficiency for Suzuki reaction with respect to its cast films and homogeneous reactions under the same conditions. The results might have an implication on the catalytic mechanism of this reaction. |
