Abstract

Ligands with 1,1'-bis(donor)ferrocene motif are capable of a wide range of binding modes, including the trans chelation mode in which there is a Fe-M interaction (κ3 -D,Fe,D), in the form of a dative Fe→TM bond (TM=transition metal). This Minireview will explore the nature of this Fe-TM interaction thorough select examples as well as how to characterize a Fe→TM dative bond using physical, computational, and spectroscopic techniques.
