Abstract

The [1]ferrocenophanes, 1,1′-ferrocenediyldiphenylsilane, bis(1,1′-ferrocenediyl)silane, 1,1′-ferrocenediyldiphenylgermane and 1,1′-ferrocenediylphenylphosphine have been prepared by the reaction of 1,1′dilithioferrocenebisN,N,N′,N′-tetramethylethylenediamine) with dichlorodiphenylsilane, tetrachlorosilane, dichlorodiphenylgermane and P,P-dichlorophenylphosphine, respectively. Similar reactions with dichlorodimethyltin or dichlorodiphenyltin yielded only polymeric products. The Group IV [1]ferrocenophanes are red, air-stable, crystalline solids; the phosphorus compound is red-purple and is moderately air-sensitive. The spectroscopic properties of the compounds, which are consistent with ring-tilted structures, are reported and discussed.

    To date, the only example of the free ligand is an indenyl derivative PtBu(Ind)PtBu(Ind) (Ind = 1H-inden-2yl) [16]. Dihalodiphosphines PRX–PRX (X = Cl, Br, and I) for the second route are also difficult to handle because they are very sensitive to moisture and air [17]. Therefore, we selected the third method in Scheme 1 for the preparation.
