Abstract

Two novel ferrocene-quinoline derivatives 3 (C22H19O2N3Fe) and 4 (C34H28O4N6Fe) have been synthesized and structurally characterized. Compound 3 exhibits good proton conductivity through 1D helical water chains. In addition, both compounds 3 and 4 selectively detect Zn2+ ions in water with a detection limit of 2 ppb through multiple channels.
