Abstract
The novel cyclopentadiene HMe4C5CH2CMe2py [py = 2-(4-tert-butyl)pyridyl] 2H has been prepared from tetramethylfulvene and lithiated 2-isopropyl-4-tert-butylpyridine. Lithiation of 2H with BunLi and subsequent reaction with FeCl2 yields the ferrocene (2)2Fe, which crystallizes in the triclinic space group P1̅ with a = 8.368(1), b = 8.468(1), c = 14.313(1) Å, α = 80.64(1), β = 86.67(1), γ = 80.12(1)° and V = 985.4(2) Å3.Keywords
