Title: bonding in ferrocene
Post by: profmsg on October 13, 2007, 05:30:47 PM

HI everyone,
I recently got one of the project in which i have to find the pharmacophore of ferrocene in anti-cancer activity agianst lungs cancer cells.

Im really having trouble about the structure of ferrocene.i dont know the exact distance between the Fe and any other carbons in the rings...

Iam using the GaussView software to calculate the energy and distances but got may different distances . that gives different distance between Fe and carbons.

so it would be great help if anybody got the idea about the bond distances between Fe and carbon. and also if you got any particular book or journals..
thanking you

Hi Yggdrasil,
Thanks for your links.
i couldn't open the link as it cost over 47$ to buy this article.
if you have anyother links that can be seen free of cost .
that would be great help
thanking you

Most likely Ygg used computer at lab or library and forgot that access is already paid :)
