The reaction of 1,1′-dilithioferrocenes (η5-C5H4Li)Fe(η5-C 5H3R1Li) [R1 = H, CHMeNMe2, or CH-(CHMe2)NMe2] with Cl2PPh, I2AsPh, and Cl2P-t-Bu [X2ER2] affords the appropriate [1]ferrocenophanes (η5-C5H4)Fe(η5-C 5H3R1ER2). The crystal structures of four such complexes have been determined: R1 = H, E = P, R2 = Ph; Pbca, a = 7.3427 (8) A?, b = 27.078 (4) A?, c = 12.682 (2) A?, Z = 8, R = 0.045 for 1544 reflections; R1 = H, E = P, R2 = t-Bu; P21/n, a = 6.1007 (5) A?, b = 20.1851 (8) A?, c = 10.2303 (9) A?, β = 93.284 (4)°, Z = 4, R = 0.036 for 2427 reflections; R1 = CH(CHMe2)NMe2, E = P, R2 = Ph; P21/c, a = 8.2775 (9) A?, b = 15.4055 (8), c = 15.7558 (19) A?, β = 103.908 (5)°, Z = 4, R = 0.030 for 2730 reflections; R1 = CHMeNMe2, E = As, R2 = Ph; P1, a = 9.0873 (8) A?, b = 10.2776 (7) A?, c = 11.0240 (8) A?, α = 65.974 (7)°, β = 66.451 (6)°, γ = 76.959 (6)°, Z = 2, R = 0.024 for 3404 reflections. In the three phosphorus-bridged [1]ferrocenophanes, the mean tilt of the cyclopentadienyl rings is 27.0 (1)°, and the mean bridgehead angle at phosphorus is 90.8 (4)°. The corresponding parameters for the arsenic derivatives are 22.9 and 87.90 (7)°, respectively. The mean Fe- (cyclopentadienyl ring centroid) distance for all four molecules is 1.636 (6) A?.
