“…Cyclomercurated ferrocenyl derivatives, especially those bearing N-donor ligands, are widely used in organic syntheses such as halogenation (Larock & Chow, 1986), transmetallation (Wu et al, 1995), as well as C-C bond formation (Larock & Leach, 1982). We have recently prepared the title compound, (I), which may be an excellent cyclometallation candidate.…”
