TL;DR: In this article, a series of [3]ferrocenophanes with the symmetrical trichalcogen chains, as bridging groups has been synthesized, and the crystal structure of 1,3-dithia-2-selena-[3]FERRICENophane has been determined to assess the effect on molecular geometry of replacement of the central S by Se.

TL;DR: A series of [3]ferrocenophanes of general formula Fe(C5H4E)2Y, (E = S, Se; Y = PC6H5, AsC6H 5) has been prepared by the reaction of ferrocene-1, 1, 1′-dithiol with chloride complexes of the Group V elements as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: A series of 1,3-diselena-[3] ferrocenophanes of general formula Fe(C 5 H 4 Se) 2 Y, (Y = CH 2, C 6 H 5 ) 2, Si(CH 3 ) 2, Si(C 6H 5 )CH 3, Sn(CH3 ) 2 or Sn(C6 H 5 ), 2 Sn have been prepared by reaction of ferrocene-1,1′diselenol and halide complexes of the Group IV elements.

TL;DR: A series of [3]ferrocenophanes of general formula Fe(C 5 H 4 X) 2 YCl 2 and the spiro compounds [Fe(C 4 X ) 2 ] 2 Ge (X = S, Se; Y = Ge, Sn) have been prepared by the reaction of ferrocene 1, 1′-dithiol and ferrocenes 1,1′-diselenol with tetrahalides of germanium and tin this article.
