It was characterized by infrared spectroscopy (IR), elemental analysis (EA), powder X-ray diffraction analysis (PXRD), ultraviolet–visible spectrum (UV–Vis), nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). Single-crystal X-ray structural analysis revealed that ferrocenecarboxylato(-1) coordinated to the [Cu<sub>2</sub>(μ<sub>2</sub>-η<sup>1</sup>,η<sup>1</sup>dppm)<sub>2</sub>]<sup>2+</sup> unit <i>via</i> μ<sub>2</sub>-η<sup>1</sup>,η<sup>1</sup> bridging mode in <b>1</b>. The title complex shows good optical absorption and thermal stability, and reliable electrochemical stability. Moreover, this heterometallic copper(I) complex could be used as a promising electrochemical sensing material for the detection of H<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub>.</p> 2018-11-18 11:34:47 Heterometallic complex copper(I) ferrocenecarboxylato(-1) electrochemical H2O2 sensing
