The pentanuclear Fe(II) cluster [(C5H4)6Fe5]2-: bringing together ferrocene sandwiches and homoleptic Fe(II)-cyclopentadienyl sigma-complexes.
Reaction of [(fc)3(Li)6.(TMEDA)2] with FeCl2 gives the pentanuclear iron complex [(fc)3(Fe)2(Li)2.(TMEDA)2] featuring two ferra[1]ferrocenophane moieties bridged by a 1,1'-ferrocenediyl unit; the non-ferrocene Fe(II) ions are tetra-coordinate and adopt a high-spin state.
