Mcb. Colbert et al., SYNTHETIC AND STRUCTURAL CHARACTERIZATION OF METAL-COMPLEXES OF FERROCENYLACETYLENE - NOVEL DONOR-ACCEPTOR HETEROBIMETALLIC MATERIALS, Journal of the Chemical Society. Dalton transactions, (14), 1994, pp. 2215-2216
Two novel metal (ruthenium or osmium) complexes of ferrocenylacetylene
have been synthesised and the crystal structure of [Fe(C5H5){C5H4C=C[
Os(dppm)2Cl]}] [dppm = 1,2-bis(diphenylphosphino)-methane] has been de
termined; their solution redox chemistry indicated metal-metal interac
tion via the conjugated ligand group.
