Ladder-like diferrocenyloxytetraalkyldistannoxanes

The synthesis and molecular solid state structures of {[R2Sn(OFc)]2O}2 (Fc = Fe(ƞ5-C5H4) (ƞ5-C5H5); R = Me, nBu) are reported. (Spectro)electrochemical studies on {[nBu2Sn(OFc)]2O}2 confirmed electrostatic interactions among Fc/Fc+ as oxidation progresses.152
