Synthesis and structural studies of the iron "sandwich" complex [Fe(η5-C5Me5)(η5-C3tBu3P2)] 1 are described. The lone pair electrons of the two adjacent phosphorus atoms of the C2tBu2P3 ring in the triphospha-ferrocene complex [Fe(η5-C5Me5)(η5-C2tBu2P3)] 2 can ligate to other metal centres. The results of single crystal X-ray structural studies of the molybdenum and tungsten pentacarbonyl η1-complexes [Fe(η5-C5Me5)(η5-C2tBu2P3)M(CO)5] (4: M = Mo, 5: M = W) are discussed; they form an isostructural series with the previously reported chromium complex. The starting material 2 reacts with [(C5H4Me)(CO)2Mn(THF)] to form the adduct [Fe(η5-C5Me5)(η5-C2tBu2P3)Mn(CO)2(η5-C5H4Me)] 6. The phenyl-substituted di-and triphosphacyclopentadienides [Na(DME)3][C3Ph3P2] and [Na(DME)3][C2Ph2P3] (DME = 1,2-dimethoxyethane) react with ferrous chloride and Li[C5Me5] to give the 'sandwich' compounds [Fe(η5-C5Me5)(η5-C3Ph3P2)] 9 and [Fe(η5-C5Me5)(η5-C2Ph2P3)] 10. The latter reacts with W(CO)5(THF) to yield the η1-complex [Fe(η5-C5Me5)(η5-C2Ph2P3)W(CO)5] 11.
