The tetradentate ferrocenyl sandwich molecule N.N'-bis(di-2-pyridylamine)-1,1'-ferrocenedicarboxamine (bdpfa) has been designed and synthesized as an organometallic ligand in order to construct heterobimetallic architectures. By combining the flexibility from the arm-like molecule bdpfa with Ag-1 ions, a novel complex [Ag-2(bdpfa)](ClO4)(2)center dot(H2O)(2) (1) was obtained. Single crystal X-ray analysis has revealed that complex 1 forms a hetero-trinuclear sandwich-type complex with Ag-Ag bridging. Furthermore, the preliminary electrochemical properties of the ligand and complex were investigated. (C) 2012 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
