The synthesis and characterization of a family of ethynylbi- and ethynylterferrocenyls, I-Fc2C=CR, Fc2C=CR, and Fc2(C=CR)2 (R = Fc, SiMe3), I-Fc3C=CSiMe3, Fc3C=CSiMe3, Fc3(C=CSiMe3)2, and their Co2(CO)6 and Co2(CO)4dppm complexes are described. The structure adopted by Fc2{[Co2(CO)4dppm C2SiMe3]}2 minimizes the steric interactions between the biferrocene and dppm moieties. Electrochemical studies show that identical redox centers-ferrocenyl termini, Co2(CO)4dppm units, or ferrocenyl groups in the corecommunicate independently with each other.
