Abstract
Reaction of iron(II) chloride with one equivalent of [MeO‐(CH2CH2O)3(CH2)3C5Me4]Li in THF yields the title halfsand‐wich complex 1, which is stable in solution up to room temperature. Compound 1 reacts with C5H5Li and CO to give [MeO(CH2CH2O)3(CH2)3C5Me4]Fe(C5H5) (2) and [MeO‐(CH2CH2O)3(CH2)3C5Me4]Fe(CO)2CI (3), respectively, in high yields.
