Abstract:
The new tris(ferrocenylamine) ditertiary phosphine 1,1′-{FcCH2N(CH2PPh2)CH2(η5-C5H4)}2Fe Fc = (η5-C5H5)Fe(η5-C5H4)] has been prepared along with two coordination complexes. All compounds have been characterised by a combination of spectroscopic and analytical methods. The single crystal X-ray structure of the pentametallic Ru2Fe3 complex 5 has been determined.
