Synthetic and structural characterisation of metal complexes of ferrocenylacetylene: novel donor–acceptor heterobimetallic materials
Abstract
Two novel metal (ruthenium or osmium) complexes of ferrocenylacetylene have been synthesised and the crystal structure of [Fe(C5H5){C5H4CC[Os(dppm)2Cl]}][dppm = 1,2-bis(diphenylphosphino)-methane] has been determined; their solution redox chemistry indicated metal–metal interaction via the conjugated ligand group.
