“…The Fc substitution pattern shows the two podand glycineethylesters in a 1,3 0 -conformation. The absence of the 1,2 0 -conformation with its crossstrand H-bonding motif in this system is surprising and was not be predicted based on the available literature [6,7,[9][10][11][12][13]. Other features displayed by compound 1, such as the co-planarity of the Cp rings (1.8°) and the small Cp-amide twist angle (Cp1-amide: 14.1°and Cp2-amide 15.2°) are common to many ferrocene amides [8,9c,23,24].…”
