Synthesis and structures of triple-decker complexes with a bridging tetramethylcyclopentadienyl ligand

New triple-decker complexes with bridging tetramethylcyclopentadienyl ligands were synthesized by the reaction of electrophilic metal fragments with octamethylferrocene, Cp′2Fe (Cp′ = C5Me 4H). The reaction of coordinatively unsaturated ruthenium cations [(C5R5)Ru]+ (R = H, CH3) with Cp′2Fe afforded purple-colored heterometallic triple-decker complexes [(C5R5)Ru(μ-Cp′)FeCp′] + by direct electrophilic addition. Surprisingly, the analogous reaction with the coordinatively unsaturated manganese cation [Mn(CO) 3]+ and Cp′2Fe produced a blue homometallic triple-decker complex, [Cp′Fe(μ-Cp′)FeCp′] +, by ring abstraction and subsequent addition of the newly generated cation [Cp′Fe]+ to an equivalent of Cp′2Fe. Three air-stable triple-decker complexes, [Cp′Fe(μ-Cp′) FeCp′]+ (2), [CpRu(μ-Cp′)FeCp′]+ (3), and [Cp*Ru(μ-Cp′)FeCp′]+ (4), have been characterized by NMR spectroscopy, elemental analysis, and single-crystal X-ray diffraction.
