| The goal of this project is to develop ligands that have the ability to sense and selectively recognize different biologically important anions. The focus of this work lies on the preparation of pyrrole-metallocene conjugates as possible anion receptors and sensors. The pyrrole serves as the binding unit while the metallocene provides stability as well as an electrochemically active sensing unit. Towards this end, the iridocene 1a as well as the cobaltcene-pyrrole conjugate 1b were prepared and their anion binding ability was studied.
