The title compound, [Fe(C5H5)(C27H24OPS2)], is built up from a ferrocene moiety substituted in the 1- and 2-positions by {[4-(all-yloxy)phen-yl]sulfan-yl}methyl and di-phenyl-thio-phosphoryl groups, respectively. The two S atoms lie on opposite sides of the cyclo-penta-dienyl ring plane to which they are attached. In the crystal, C-H⋯S hydrogen bonds link the mol-ecules into a ribbon running pa...

The reactions of ferrocenecarbaldehyde with benzanilides, and n-butyllithium, depending on the benzanilide used, gave mixtures of 1-hydroxypentylferrocene, 1-phenoxypentylferrocene, pentylferrocene, hydroxymethylferrocene, bis(ferrocenylmetyl) ether and ferrocene. The mixtures obtained have been separated into pure components by chromatographic methods and their structures have been assigned by...

Design of rotatory molecular switches based on extremely stable sandwich organometallic complexes ferrocene and bis(dicarbollide) complexes of transition metals is reviewed. The "on"-"off" switching in these systems can be controlled by various external stimuli such as change of the solution pH, interactions with coordinating species or redox reactions involving the central atom or substituents...

The asymmetric unit of the title compound, [Fe(C(5)H(5))(C(7)H(8)N(3)S)], consists of two crystallographically independent mol-ecules, A and B. The cyclo-penta-dienyl (Cp) rings in both mol-ecules adopt an eclipsed conformation and are parallel to each other, forming dihedral angles of 2.5 (3) and 1.1 (3)°, respectively. The mean plane of the semicarbazone group is coplanar with the attached Cp...

The facile side-specific insertion, on the solid phase, of one or two ferrocene moieties into peptide nucleic acid (PNA) oligomers by click chemistry is presented.

Helical double stranded polymers incorporated with a covalently bound chiral ferrocene linker are synthesised and characterized by CD spectra and STM images and molecular dynamics simulations.

The asymmetric unit of the title compound, [Fe(C11H19Si)2], consists of one half of a ferrocene derivative. The Fe(II) atom lies on a twofold rotation axis, giving an eclipsed conformation for the cyclo-penta-dienyl ligands. No significant inter-molecular inter-actions are observed in the crystal structure.

Reaction of [IrCp*Cl2 ]2 with ferrocenylimines (Fc=NAr, Ar=Ph, p-MeOC6 H4 ) results in ferrocene C-H activation and the diastereoselective synthesis of half-sandwich iridacycles of relative configuration Sp *,RIr *. Extension to (S)-2-ferrocenyl-4-(1-methylethyl)oxazoline gave highly diastereoselective control over the new elements of planar chirality and metal-based pseudo-tetrahedral chiralit...

CB[7] can significantly modulate the intramolecular charge-transfer state of the designed ferrocene derivatives, resulting in remarkable changes in the absorption spectra, (1)H NMR spectra and electrochemical properties.

A class of novel, easily accessible and air-stable 1-[bis(trifluoromethyl)phosphine]-1'-oxazolinylferrocene ligands has been synthesized from ferrocene. It became apparent that these ligands can be used in the regio- and enantioselective Pd-catalyzed allylic alkylation of monosubstituted allyl substrates in a highly efficient manner. Excellent regio- and enantioselectivity could be obtained for...
