1,1′-Bis(tert-butyldimethylsilyl)ferrocene

Abstract

The asymmetric unit of the title compound, [Fe(C11H19Si)2], consists of one half of a ferrocene derivative. The FeII atom lies on a twofold rotation axis, giving an eclipsed conformation for the cyclopentadienyl ligands. No significant intermolecular interactions are observed in the crystal structure.
