Jm. Lowendahl et M. Hakansson, 1,12-DIMETHYL[1.1]FERROCENOPHANE, AN ORGANOMETALLIC CYCLOHEXANE ANALOG WITH EXTRAORDINARY FLEXIBILITY - MOLECULAR-STRUCTURE OF A 3RD ISOMER, EXO,ENDO,SYN-1,12-DIMETHYL[1.1]FERROCENOPHANE, Organometallics, 14(10), 1995, pp. 4736-4741
A third isomer of 1,12-dimethyl[1.1]ferroeenophane (DMFCP), i.e. exo,e
ndo,syn-1,12- dimethyl[1.1]ferrocenophane (1c), has been isolated and
structurally characterized by X-ray diffraction. The conformational pr
operties of 1c and other [1.1]ferrocenophanes are discussed and compar
ed with those of cyclohexanes.
