Description
Summary:A disila[2]ferrocenophane bearing a 9,9′-bi-9<i>H</i>-9-silafluorene (9-silafluorene dimer) moiety as a bridging unit was synthesized and isolated as a stable crystalline compound. Disila[2]ferrocenophane <b>1,</b> newly obtained in this study, has been characterized by spectroscopic analyses, single crystal X-ray diffraction (SC-XRD) analysis, and electrochemical measurements. It was found that the obtained disila[2]ferrocenophane was reduced by a reducing agent to generate the corresponding 1,1′-ferrocenediyl-bis(silylanion) via the reductive Si–Si σ-bond cleavage. The trapping reactions of the 1,1′-ferrocenediyl-bis(silylanion) thus generated with electrophiles have also been attempted.
