Crystal structure of ruthenocenecarbo­nitrile

The ruthenocenecarbonitrile molecule exhibits mirror symmetry in the solid state.

Crystal structure of paddle-wheel sandwich-type [Cu2{(CH3)2CO}{μ-Fe(η5-C5H4C≡N)2}3](BF4)2·(CH3)2CO

The first ferrocenylcarbonitrile copper complex is reported. The structure consists of two CuI ions complexed by ferrocenediyl-1,1′-dicarbonitrile forming a paddle-wheel with two acetone molecules, with one coordinating on top of one trigonal–planar-coordinated copper ion, and the other as a packing solvent.

Cationic tri(ferrocenecarbonitrile)silver(I)

Abstract The synthesis of the tri-coordinated ferrocenecarbonitrile silver(I) complex [Ag(N≡CFc)3]OTf (3) is reported. Its electrochemical behavior shows that the three ferrocenyl units are oxidized in a very close potential range. In addition, the molecular structure of 3 in the solid state is discussed, showing that silver(I) is exclusively coordinated by three ferrocenecarbonitrile molecules.
