Synthesis and characterization of phosphine substituted organometallic chalcones

Abstract

The current focus in organometallic chalcones is based upon their synthesis, eloectrochemical properties, diverse biological behavior and their facet towards a new field “bioorganometallics’’ concerning both organometallic and coordination chemistry . The organometallic chalcones can be used as precursor for the synthesis of various other important biologically active heterocyclic compounds. Ferrocene based derivatives which are one of the most extensively studied among metallocenes has also been reported for their application to materials particularly in designing molecular sensors, molecular ferromagnet, electrochemical agent, molecular switch and non-linear optical material. Recently, phosphine chemistry has gained attention due to their tremendous applications and aspects in the field of bioorganometallics. In view of their enormous prospect we carried out the synthesis and characterization of phosphine substituted multimetallic organometallic chalcone. The electrochemical and biological properties of synthesized organometallic chalcone is under investigation.
