Mono- and polynuclear Ferrocenyl-derived complexes: synthesis, characterisation and biological evaluation as antimycobacterial and antiplasmodial agents

Ferrocene-containing precursors, vinylferrocene and (E)-4-vinylferrocenylbenzaldehyde were prepared, by a Wittig olefination reaction and Heck cross-coupling reaction, respectively. Mononuclear ferrocenyl-derived imino complexes were synthesised by Schiff-base condensation reactions of (E)-4-vinylfe...
