Rhodicenium Salts: From Basic Chemistry to Polyelectrolyte and Dendritic Macromolecules
A new, facile synthesis of rhodicenium
chloride is described, leading
to the synthesis of rhodicenium tetraarylborate, the first rhodicenium
salt that is soluble in less polar solvents. This opens the route
to further chemistry that was prevented by the insolubility of the
formerly available rhodicenium salts. This strategy has been extended
to the synthesis of water-soluble polyelectrolyte and dendritic macromolecular
cobaltocenium and rhodicenium salts
