Purine-Functionalized Ferrocene Derivatives: Efficient Redox Catalysts for Oxidation of Methyl Blue and Reduction of Trinitrophenol.

ABSTRACT: Herein, we report a novel organometallic series of potent purine-functionalized ferrocene derivatives (PFD) as redox catalysts. The synthesized PFDs were characterized through FTIR, ^H/CNMR, and liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LCMS). Their thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) revealed the thermal stability up to 250 °C, and degradation was noted in the range of 300-500 °C. Their catalytic performance was tested and found for oxidative degradation of methyl blue (MB) up to 99% and reductive conversion of trinitrophenol (TNP) into triaminophenol (TAP) up to 92%, which is supported by their band gap analysis (2.7 eV). The highest unoccupied molecular orbital (HUMO) and lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO) calculations confirmed the stable geometry of PFDs, and negative va
