New S/O-substituted ferrocenediyl ligands and their metal complexes.
New unsymmetrical S/O 1,1'-disubstituted ferrocenediyl ethers and hydroxides have been synthesised. The coordination chemistry of 1-(methylsulfanyl)-1'-(methoxy)ferrocene has been investigated with palladium(II) and platinum(II) precursors. With palladium(II), a bis-mu-chloro-bridged dimeric complex was obtained with the ligand bound solely through the thioether donor group. With platinum(II), a bis-ligand trans-sulfur ligated complex was obtained and structurally characterised.
