Biferrocene NCN pincer metal-d8 complexes: Synthesis, reaction chemistry and cyclovoltammetric studies

The synthesis, reaction chemistry and chemical properties of biferrocene pincer complexes of general type [(η5-C5H4)Fe(η5-C5H4CC-4-NCN-1-X)]2 (X = H, Br, PdBr, PtBr; NCN = [C6H2(CH2NMe2)2-2,6)]− is discussed. Their electrochemical behaviour is reported as well.
