Abstract
Ferrocene formylated curcumin was synthesized from ferrocene monocarboxylic acid and curcumin. Its structure was characterized by MS, IR and 1H NMR. The voltammetric behaviour of the new compound was investigated, appearing a pair of well defined redox wave at oxidation potential 0.768 V and reduction potential 0.219 V, respectively in the range of 0-1.0 V. The experimental result showed that curcumin had a great influence on the reversibility of the ferrocene, changing its oxidation peak position by the bridge of ester bond. It could have great current change in the range of 0-1.0 V, which is possible to be used as molecular level electronic switch.
