A stable crystalline N-heterocyclic carbene with a 1,1'-ferrocenediyl backbone.
A stable six-membered N-heterocyclic carbene with a redox-active ferrocene-based backbone was prepared, characterised by X-ray crystallography and utilised as a ligand for the preparation of expected and unexpected metal complexes.
