1,1′-Dibromo-2,2′,5,5′-tetrakis(methylthio)ferrocene

The reaction of 1,1′-dibromoferrocene with three equivalents of LiTMP and Me<sub>2</sub>S<sub>2</sub> produces a product mixture, from which 1,1′-dibromo-2,2′-bis(methylthio)ferrocene (<b>4</b>) can be isolated in moderate yield. Further treatment of the isolated...

description The reaction of 1,1′-dibromoferrocene with three equivalents of LiTMP and Me<sub>2</sub>S<sub>2</sub> produces a product mixture, from which 1,1′-dibromo-2,2′-bis(methylthio)ferrocene (<b>4</b>) can be isolated in moderate yield. Further treatment of the isolated compound <b>4</b> with two equivalents of LiTMP and Me<sub>2</sub>S<sub>2</sub> also produced a mixture, from which the title compound <b>7</b> could be isolated. A crystal structure determination of <b>7</b> shows that the two cyclopentadienyl rings are oriented in such a way that a maximum number of S…Br contacts results. Intermolecular S…Br contacts, supported by S…S contacts, lead to a 1D-chain polymer in [1 0 0] direction.
