Organometallic complexes, especially some transition metals complexes of ferrocene and substituted ferrocenes, have attracted considerable interest in recent years because of their unique optical , electrical and magnetic properties. Ferrocene derivetives are important organometallic compounds, specially as building blocks for catalysts ,new pharmaceuticals and polymers. They are generally prepared from simple functionalized ferrocenes, such as ferrocenyl ketones or aldehydes, ferrocene carboxylic acides, ferrocenecarboxaldehyde and etc. Ferronecarboxaldehyde is generally prepared by the direct Vilsmeier-Haackformylation of ferrocene with phosphorus oxychloride in the present of N,N-dimethylformamide.Interest has been focused on Schiff base functional group because of its thermal stability , electrical conduction and photoconduction. Ferrocene derivatives with good donor abilities (i.e.;nitrogen) have attracted much interest, as the coordination of a metal to these heteroatoms.In this project, ferrocenyl Schiff base was synthesized by the condensation of ferrocenecarboxaldehyde with different aromatic amines under controlled conditions. Because of interesting applications of ferrocene and its derivatives, In this project, several new ferrocenes: I) [Fc-CH=N-C 6 H 4 -N=CH-Fc] II) [Fc-CH=N-C 6 H 5 -C 6 H 2 -(C 2 O)-N=CH-Fc] VI) [Fc-CH=N-C 6 H 4 -(N 2 )-C 6 H 5 ] III) [Fc-CH=N-C 6 H 4 -(SO 2 )-C 6 H 4 -N=CH-Fc] VII) [Fc-CH=N-C 6 H 4 -(C 16 H 14 ) (N) (O) 2 ] V) [Fc-CH=N-C 6 H 4 -(N 2 )-C 6 H 4 -N=CH-Fc] IV) [Fc-CH=N-C 6 H 4 -(O)-C 6 H 4 -N=CH-Fc]
