description

Ruthenium and iron sandwich complexes incorporating cyclopentadienyl analogs with CB(2)N(2)(-) skeletons were characterized. Electrochemical measurements supported by computational studies revealed that in combination with larger metal ions such as Ru the CB(2)N(2)(-) ligand can be more electron-rich than its organic counterpart.
