Ferrocene and Pentaphosphaferrocene: A Comparative Study Regarding Redox Chemistry1. Issue 10 (31st January 2013) - Butovskiy, Mikhail V.
Abstract Pentaphosphaferrocene redox chemistry: Unprecedented dianionic and PP coupled and monomeric products are obtained by the reduction of pentaphosphaferrocene with KH or K metal, whereas by oxidation a PP coupled P102+ ligand coordinated to two Cp*Fe units is obtained. The redox behavior clearly distinguishes pentaphosphaferrocene from its organometallic relative, ferrocene.
