Abstract
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.
