Abstract

The pentacoordination at the bridging silicon atom leads to dramatic structural changes for silicon-bridged [1]ferrocenophane in the solid state. The first hypercoordinate silicon-bridged [1]-ferrocenophane shows a pronounced Si-N interaction, a pseudo-trigonal-bipyramidal geometry at the bridging silicon atom, an elongated Si-Cp bond trans to the amino group, and an unusually long Fe-Si distance in comparison to the tetracoordinate analogues.
