Abstract
The title compound, [Fe(CHN)], was synthesized starting from 1,1'-ferro-cene-di-carb-oxy-lic acid in a three-step reaction sequence. The di-carb-oxy-lic acid was reduced to 1,1'-ferrocenedi-methanol using LiAlH and subsequently converted to 1,1'-bis-(azido-meth-yl)ferrocene in the presence of NaN. The diazide was treated with 2-ethynyl-pyridine under 'click' conditions to give the title compound in 75% yield. The Fe center lies on an inversion center in the crystal. The two pyridyl-triazole wings are oriented in an conformation and positioned from the Fe center. In the solid state, the mol-ecules inter-act by C-H⋯N, C-H⋯π, and π-π inter-actions. The complexation of the ligand with [Cu(CHCN)](PF) gives a tetra-nuclear dimeric complex.
