Synthesis and properties of a new class of nitrogen-rich multinuclear[m.n] ferrocenophanes.
The synthesis of the first tetraaza[3,3]ferrocenophane, from the previously unreported 1,1'-bis(triphenylphosphoranylidenamino)ferrocene and its conversion into a nitrogen-rich [2,2]bis[3,3]ferrocenophane is described. The electronic behaviour of these multinuclear ferrocenophanes indicates a strong electronic coupling between the iron centers.
