| Abstract: | Triazole-based ferrocenyl glycoconjugates 1, 2, and 3 were synthesized by regiospecific copper(I)-catalyzed azide–alkyne cycloaddition (CuAAC) of azidoferrocenyl derivatives with glucose pentaacetylide. Higher generation ferrocenyl glycoconjugates form the stable ferrocenium cation and exhibit increased light harvesting property as revealed from cyclic voltammogram studies and ultraviolet–visible spectrum respectively due to the presence of more ferrocenyl and triazolyl units than the lower generation dendrimer. |
