These calculations adequately predicted its experimental UV-Vis spectrum as well as the electron density distribution, energy profiles, and energies of the frontier molecular orbitals. The main electronic transition, responsible for the absorption maximum at 307 nm, is associated with charge transfer from the ferrocene metal center to the ligand. The Michael and aldol condensation reactions, which accompany the Claisen—Schmidt polycondensation of 1,1′-diacetylferrocene with isophthalaldehyde and lead to disruption of conjugation and the introduction of polar hydroxy groups, cause a blue shift of the absorption maximum to 304 nm. As the pyrolysis duration and, especially, temperature are increased, the ultimate magnetization and coercive force of the samples were found to increase. This approach may be useful for the production of magnetic glasses and sorbents.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":756,"journal":{"name":"Russian Chemical Bulletin","volume":"75 8","pages":"2351 - 2358"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2026-10-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149189970","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
