Abstract

The synthesis and spectroscopic characterisation of three chalcogenophosphoryl ligands derived from ferrocene is reported. The synthesis was based on the oxidation of Fe[(η 5-C 5H 4)P i Pr 2] 2 by elementary sulfur and selenium, and hydrogen peroxide, respectively. All new compounds were characterised by X-ray crystallography and comparison with their aryl analogues was made. Contrary to Fe[(η 5-C 5H 4)P(E)Ph 2] 2 (E=O, S, Se), the prepared compounds are not centrosymmetric, with the iso-propyl groups showing more flexibility than the phenyl substituents.
