title: Neutral and dianionic iron and ruthenium 1,4-diphosphabutadiene complexes.
abstract: Reaction of a tetraphenyl-1,2-diphosphinyl dianion with [FeCl2(THF)1.5] or [Ru(COD)(acac)2] yields dianionic complexes which further react with Ph3SnCl to afford the corresponding bis(1,4-diphosphabutadiene) complexes.
