Thermotropic Behavior of Ferrocenecarboxaldehyde and some Ferrocene Schiff's Base Derivatives

Abstract
The state of ferrocenecarboxaldehyde between 43.5° and 123.5° has been characterized as a non-birefringent, highly viscous phase having the following enthalpies and entropies of transition: 43.5°: 3.0 kcal/mole, 9.5 cal/deg.mole; 123.5°: 0.6 kcal/mole, 1.6 cal/deg.mole. Several p-substituted phenyl Schiff's bases of ferrocenecarboxaldehyde were synthesized and examined together with various other ferrocene derivatives. All exhibited normal crystal melting behavior.
