Children learn through play, and they learn more than adults might expect. Science experiments are a great way to spark their curiosity, get their minds active, and encourage them to do something that doesn’t involve a screen. 12150-46-8, C34H28FeP2.

Synthesis, X-ray structure, and physical and photophysical properties of the heterobimetallic complex Fe(eta5-C5H4PPh2) 2Pt(bph)
A chromophore-electroactive compound, Fe(eta5-C5H4PPh2) 2Pt(bph), where bph is the biphenyl dianion and Fe(eta5-C5H4PPh2)2 is 1,1?-bis(diphenylphosphino)ferrocene-P,P? has been synthesized. The single-crystal X-ray structural characteristics of this heterobimetallic complex and its disolvated methylene chloride derivative are respectively as follows: empirical formula C46H36FeP2Pt, triclinic, P1, Z = 4, a = 9.777(2) A, b = 18.003(4) A, c = 20.882(4) A, alpha = 93.57(3), beta = 100.99(3), and gamma = 90.86(3), and empirical formula C48H40Cl2FeP2Pt, monoclinic, P21/n, Z = 4, a = 12.698(3) A, b = 14.161(3) A, c = 23.376(6) A, alpha = 90, beta = 94.107(14), and gamma = 90. An electrochemical study shows that the anodic potential for the oxidation of the ferrocenyl moiety of this compound increases by +0.13 V, compared to that for Fe(eta5-C5H4PPh2)2. This change in oxidation potential agrees well with the change in energy of 0.11 eV for the dpi(Fe) ? pi*(Cp) MLCT transition upon coordination with Pt. The resultant excited state from the dpi(Pt) ? pi*(bph) MLCT transition is readily quenched by the ferrocenyl moiety unit as expected, and charge-separated redox-active centers are formed.
