The heterocyclic-ferrocenyl derivatives, 1,1'-bis(5-phenanthridine)ferrocen
e (1) and [Pd{(eta(5)-C5H5)Fe(eta(5)-C5H3(phenanthroline))Cl] (2), have bee
n prepared and characterised by single-crystal X-ray analyses. These confir
m that in 1 the substitution at the heterocycle is ortho to the nitrogen at
om of the phenanthridine while for 2 artho-metallation of the ferrocenyl gr
oup is observed in addition to chelation of the Pd(II) by the phenanthrolin
e moiety. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science S.A. All rights reserved.
