In this research, ligands containing ferrocene moieties have been designed for Suzuki-Miyaura coupling reactions and atom transfer radical polymerization. Nanoparticles stabilized by ferrocene-containing ligands were successfully synthesized and characterized by many techniques. Ligand-supported Pd catalysts were utilized in the Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reactions to improve the conversion and selectivity. In addition to coupling reactions, the atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) of methyl methacrylate (MMA) catalyzed by copper-tripodal complexes with ferrocene moieties (CuX/ TRENFcImine, X=Br or Cl) was investigated in order to understand the effect of redox active moieties on the performance of ATRP catalysts. The highly active and less controlled polymerization was probably caused by the electronic effect rather than the steric effect from ferrocene moieties resulted to the higher and lower in the activation and deactivation steps, respectively. The polydispersity was improved by the addition of CuBr2 but the rates of polymerization became slower at this system.
