title: A sodium ferrocenyl-phosphanide polymer based on racemic primary aminoalkyl(bisphosphanyl)ferrocene.
abstract: The primary aminoalkyl(bisphosphanyl)ferrocenes 2-(N,N-dimethylaminomethyl)-1,1'-bis(phosphanyl)ferrocene (3a) and N,N-dimethyl-1-[1',2-bis(phosphanyl)ferrocenyl]ethylamine (3b) are readily available in two steps from the corresponding aminoalkylferrocenes. Deprotonation of 3a gave the first alkali metal aminoalkyl(bisphosphanido)ferrocene (4) as a one-dimensional polymer.
