A 2,2'-bipyridine-appended ferrocene rotor, 1,1'-di(5-yl-ethynyl-2,2'-bipyridine)ferrocene, can be switched from a folded/stacked (syn) conformation to an extended/unstacked (anti) conformation by the addition of [Cu(CH3CN)4](PF6) and 6,6'-dimesityl-2,2'-bipyridine. This extension and contraction process was completely reversible and could be triggered either chemically or electrochemically.
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 2. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 28 April 2015.
All research outputs
#13,939,342
of 22,797,621 outputs
Outputs from Chemical Communications
#13,273
of 21,274 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#181,303
of 353,063 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Chemical Communications
#670
of 1,271 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 22,797,621 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 37th percentile – i.e., 37% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 21,274 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 4.0. This one is in the 36th percentile – i.e., 36% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 353,063 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 47th percentile – i.e., 47% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 1,271 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 46th percentile – i.e., 46% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
