<p><bold>Synthesis, characterisation and electrochemical studies of osmocene-containing alcohols.</bold> A series of osmocene-containing carboxylic acids, Oc(CH2)mCOOH, where <italic>m</italic> &#x003D; 1, 2 and 3, and osmocene-containing alcohols, Oc(CH2)nOH, where <italic>n</italic> &#x003D; 1, 2, 3 and 4, were synthesised and characterised, using 1H NMR spectroscopy and infrared spectroscopy. Cyclic voltametric studies on the series of alcohols and carboxylic acids demonstrated a decrease in the formal reduction potential (E&#x02DA;&#x2019;) as the number of &#x2013;CH2&#x2013; spacers increased. The crystal structures of 2-osmocenylacetonitrile and 2-osmocenylethanol were determined by single-crystal X-ray crystallography.</p>

<body>
<p>&#x2019;n Reeks osmoseenbevattende karboksielsure, Oc(CH2)mCOOH, met <italic>m</italic> &#x003D; 1, 2 en 3, sowel as osmoseenbevattende alkohole, Oc(CH2)nOH, met <italic>n</italic> &#x003D; 1, 2, 3 en 4, is in veelvuldige stappe gesintetiseer en gekarakteriseer deur gebruik te maak van infrarooi spektroskopie, 1H en 13C kernmagnetiese resonansspektroskopie, elementele analise en smeltpuntbepalings (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="F0001">Figuur 1</xref>). Nuwe metodes vir die sintese van hierdie osmoseenbevattende karboksielsure en alkohole is ontwikkel.</p>

<p>&#x2019;n Elektrochemiese studie wat gebruik maak van sikliese voltametrie, is van alle gesintetiseerde verbindings gedoen. Elektrochemie is uitgevoer in DCM met 0.1 M [NBu4][B(C6F5)4] as hulpelektroliet. &#x2019;n Verband is gevind tussen die getal -CH2-eenhede en die formele reduksiepotensiaal (E&#x00B0;) vir beide die karboksielsure en alkohole. Die formele reduksiepotensiaal vir beide die karboksielsure en alkohole neem af namate die getal alkiel(-CH2-)groepe toeneem. Daar is gevind dat die graad van dimerisasie van die osmosenielgroep soortgelyk is aan di&#x00E9; van die rutenosenielgroep. Verder is gevind dat dimerisasie afneem namate die hoeveelheid -CH2-groepe vir beide die karboksielsure en alkohole toeneem. Die twee moontlike dimere is &#x2019;n metaal-metaaldimeer en &#x2019;n metaal-siklopentadi&#x00EB;nieldimeer. Die formele reduksiepotensiaal van 2-osmosenielasynsuur, 3-osmosenieletano&#x00EB;suur en 4-osmosenielpropano&#x00EB;suur is 418 mV, 357 mV en 317 mV onderskeidelik. Die formele reduksiepotensiaal vir osmosenielmetanol, 2-osmosenieletanol, 3-osmoseniel-propanol, en 4-osmosenielbutanol, is 410 mV, 340 mV, 313 mV en 321 mV onderskeidelik. Die elektrononttrekkende effek van die karboksielsuur en alkoholfunksionele groepe op die osmoseengroep word verminder vanwe&#x00EB; die lang alkielkettings. Die formele reduksiepotensiaal vir beide die karboksielsure en alkohole neem af soos die getal alkielgroepe toeneem. Dimerisasie is elektrochemies waargeneem vir 2-osmosenielasynsuur, 3-osmosenieletano&#x00EB;suur, 2-osmosenieletanol en 3-osmosenielpropanol. Geen dimerisasie is elektrochemies vir 4-osmosenielpropano&#x00EB;suur of 4-osmosenielbutanol waargeneem nie.</p>
<p>Die strukture van 2-osmosenielasetonitriel (monoklinies, P 21/<italic>c</italic>, <italic>Z</italic> &#x003D; 4, <italic>R</italic> &#x003D; 0.057) en 2-osmosenieletanol (trigonaal, P-3, <italic>Z</italic> &#x003D; 6, <italic>R</italic> &#x003D; 0.092) is met behulp van enkelkristal-X-straalkristallografie bepaal. Die alkohol toon &#x2019;n uitgebreide waterstofbindingsnetwerk bestaande uit die hidroksielfunksionele groepe van ses naasliggende molekule wat in &#x2019;n heksagonale patroon gerangskik is (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="F0002">Figuur 2</xref>).</p>
