title: Structural and magnetic properties of a novel ferrocenyl-diiodine charge transfer complex.
abstract: The reaction of 4-ferrocenyl-1,3-dithiole-2-thione with diiodine affords an unprecedented "double" charge-transfer complex; the highly ordered ferrocenium units are held by a supramolecular polyiodide chain, and the material shows evidence of the formation of zigzag magnetic chains below 2 K.
