•A series of 2-ferrocenylphenylphosphines are synthesised readily in two steps.•2-Ferrocenylphenylphosphines undergo palladation readily on addition of palladium acetate.•Palladium ligand exchange reactions give a series of racemic planar chiral phosphapalladacycles.•Acetate ligated phosphapalladacycles are monomeric in solution, and dimeric in the solid state.
Transformation of 2-bromophenylferrocene into 2-(diphenylphosphino)-, 2-(dicyclohexylphosphino)-, or 2-(diisopropylphosphino)phenylferrocene is followed by facile room-temperature metallation with palladium acetate. The resulting acetate-ligated palladacycles are transformed readily into bridged-chloride, monomeric acetylacetonate, or monomeric hexafluoroacetylacetonate congeners.
