Abstract
The hydrated crystalline material [(eta(5)-C5H5)(2)Co](+)[(eta(5)-C5H4CO2H) (eta(5)-C5H4CO2)Fe]-.H2O 3 is prepared by simply grinding either the crysta lline powder 1 that precipitates from thf on reacting [(eta(5)-C5H5)(2)Co] with [(eta(5)-C5H4CO2H)(2)Fe] or single crystals of [(eta(5)-C5H5)(2)Co](+) [(eta(5)-C5H4CO2H)(eta(5)- C5H4CO2)Fe](-) 2 obtained by recrystallization o f 1 from nitromethane; on heating at 373K 3 loses water and reverts to the starting material 1.
