A novel ferrocene derivative which has four stereo centers has been prepared by an efficient synthetic method based on a solvent-free reaction. The compound was characterized by IR, 1H-NMR, 13C-NMR, ESI-MS, single crystal X-ray diffraction and TG analysis. The crystal structure shows that the cyclohexyl group is in a chair conformation and the two ferrocenyl moieties are nonequivalent. There are two intramolecular hydrogen bonds and two intermolecular hydrogen bonds in the compound, which involve two hydroxyls and generate a dimer, respectively. The electrochemical properties of the compound are discussed.
