Inhibition of the electrochemistry of ferrocenes by polyamine dendrimers and the key role of hydrogen-bonding with hydroxy groups.
Commercial DSM polyamine dendrimers inhibit the observation of the cyclic voltammetry (CV) of simple ferrocenes all the more as they are larger (marked dendritic effect); the CV is re-established, however, if a OH-containing group is present in the ferrocene derivative.
