Trimagnesium-bridged trinuclear ferrocenophanes cocomplexed with solvated mononuclear alkali metal amide moleculesDedicated to Professor P. L. Pauson on the 50th anniversary of the landmark discovery of ferrocene.
Abstract
Three prototypes of the remarkable new class of compound referred to in the title have been synthesised by treating ferrocene with the same mixed lithium (or sodium)–magnesium amide recipes as those used previously to make s-block metal inverse crowns.
