Mh. Delville et al., SYNTHESES AND STRUCTURES OF DECAMETHYLBIFERROCENE MONO-CATION AND DI-CATION TRIIODIDES, Journal of organometallic chemistry, 451(1-2), 1993, pp. 30000010-30000012
The mono- and di-cations of decamethylbiferrocene (1) have been obtain
ed as triiodide salts by oxidation of decamethylbiferrocene with I2 in
THF. The X-ray crystal structure Of [1](I3) at 295 K and the Mossbaue
r data show a localized mixed-valence system. The salt [1](I3)2 has a
single Mossbauer quadrupole doublet at 4.5 K with Fe(III) parameters (
IS-0.537 mm s-1 vs. Fe; QS=0.237 mm s-1) with small antiferromagnetic
coupling (theta = - 5.58 K).
