1,1'-Bis(ferrocenylphenylphosphino)ferrocene

L. S. von Chrzanowski, M. Lutz and A. L. Spek

Abstract: In the title compound, [Fe₃(C₅H₅)₂(C₁₆H₁₃P)₂], two (C₆H₅)P[(C₅H₄)Fe(C₅H₅)](C₅H₄) units are bridged by an Fe atom, located on an inversion center, giving a central third ferrocene unit. Each Fe atom is coordinated by two cyclopentadienyl rings in a parallel sandwich fashion, with twisted conformations. The geometry of the phosphine P atom is pseudo-tetrahedral, defined by a phenyl ring, two cyclopentadienyl rings and an electron pair.
