Ferrocenyl‐Functionalised Molybdenum Imido Complexes: An Approach to Redox‐Tunable Olefin Polymerisation Catalysts

[(FcdippN)₂MoCl₂(DME)] ( 1 ) was used as starting material for the synthesis of the novel ferrocenyl‐functionalised complexes [(FcdippN)₂Mo(CH₂CMe₂Ph)₂] ( 2 ), [(FcdippN)₂Mo(OTf)₂(DME)] ( 3 ), and [(FcdippN)Mo(CHCMe₂Ph)(O^tBu)₂] ( 4 ) (Fcdipp = 4‐ferrocenyl‐2,6‐diisopropylphenyl). The crystal structure of 2 was determined. Electrochemical investigations by cyclic voltammetry suggest a communication of the ferrocenyl unit and the molybdenum centre in these compounds. The monoalkylation of [(DippN)₂MoCl₂(DME)] ( 5 ) to [(DippN)₂Mo(CH₂CMe₂Ph)Cl] ( 6 ) (Dipp = 2,6‐diisopropylphenyl) was achieved.
