The ansa-ferrocene complex [1,1'-fc(Bbipy)(2)O]-(PF6)(2) {[5](PF6)(2); fc =
(n(5)-C5H4)(2)Fe} has been synthesized and structurally characterized. Ele
ctronic communication between the true 2,2'-bipyridylboronium substituents
was observed suggesting the reduced forms [5](+) and [5](-) to be partially
delocalized redox intermediates.
