Novel polymeric aggregates of pentaphosphaferrocenes and monocationic coinage metal salts - Synthesis of [{Cp∗Fe(η5-P5)}{Cu(GaCl4)}2]n and [{CpBIGFe(η5-P5)}Ag]n [Al(OC(CF3)3)4]n

Two novel polymeric aggregates with uncommon coordination motifs are formed by using pentaphosphaferrocenes and monocationic coinage metal salts. The self-assembly of [Cp∗Fe(η5-P5)] and Cu(GaCl4) results in a 2D network with sheet-like structure while [CpBIGFe(η5-P5)] and Ag[Al{OC(CF3)3}4], bearing a weakly coordinating anion, form a 1D polymer.164
