title: A phosphorus analogue of Bis(eta4-cyclobutadiene)iron(0).
abstract: P makes it possible: The convenient oxidative synthesis of the 16-electron organophosphorus iron sandwich complex [Fe(eta(4)-P(2)C(2)tBu(2))(2)] (see structure) suggests that the elusive all-carbon complex [Fe(eta(4)-C(4)H(4))(2)] is a viable synthetic target.
