Octanuclear Metallocyclic Ni4Fc4 Compound: Synthesis, Crystal Structure, and Electrochemical Sensing for Mg2+

Abstract
New, neutral octanuclearmacrocyclic compound Ni4Fc4 was achieved via self-assembly from Ni(BF4)2 and a ferrocene-containing bis-tridentate ligand. The compound exhibits a channeled structure with cavities inside and senses the Mg2+ electrochemically in the solid state.
