AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on synthesizing a specific ferrocene-based macrocycle from ferrocene and other reagents available from Aldrich. The original poster seeks guidance on the correct molar equivalents for the reagents needed in the synthesis. A suggestion is made to utilize Scifinder, a comprehensive research tool that provides extensive chemical information and synthetic routes, emphasizing its value as a resource for academic institutions. The importance of leveraging such databases for accurate and efficient synthesis planning is highlighted.

I've been asked to synthesise this ferrocene based macrocycle (shown in picture below) starting from ferrocene and other available materials from Aldrich. I need to make sure molar equivalents are spot on with reagents. Can anyone help please?

I need to give a synthetic route starting from ferrocene to get to that compound in the picture
 
Your school probably pays in excess of 6 figures per year for Scifinder...In other words you really are through tuition. Try it out at your library. It can do almost everything for you. It is a mind blowing collection of knowledge that has been amassed by mankind that can be searched through with SF.
 
Thread 'How to make Sodium Chlorate by Electrolysis of salt water?'
I have a power supply for electrolysis of salt water brine, variable 3v to 6v up to 30 amps. Cathode is stainless steel, anode is carbon rods. Carbon rod surface area 42" sq. the Stainless steel cathode should be 21" sq. Salt is pure 100% salt dissolved into distilled water. I have been making saturated salt wrong. Today I learn saturated salt is, dissolve pure salt into 150°f water cool to 100°f pour into the 2 gallon brine tank. I find conflicting information about brine tank...

I tracks prices of Pt, Pd, Ru, Ir and Ru. Of the 5 metals, rhodium (Rh) is the most expensive. A year ago, Rh and Ir...
