摘要:
The reaction of 1,1'-ferrocenedicarbonyl chloride with pyrazole or 3,5-dimethyl pyrazole generates novel 1,1'-ferrocene bis(amide) compounds 1 and 2, respectively. The crystal structure of 1 shows that the pyrazole rings are essentially co-planar with each other and with the cyclopentadienyl rings. Attempts to use the complexes as a chelating ligand were unsuccessful. Instead, treatment of 1 or 2 with Mo(CO)(4)(pip)(2), pip = piperidine, led to displacement of the pyrazole ligands and formation of the known amide compound, 1,1'-ferrocene bis carbonyl piperidine. Replacement of the pyrazole is ascribed to the weakness of the amide bond caused by the aromaticity, of the pyrazole ring.
