The Lewis acidity of boron in diboradiferrocene 1 is strongly enhanced through oxidation of the iron atoms as evident from examination of X-ray structural parameters of the mixed-valent cation 1+PF6 and further confirmed from the str

(Chemical Equation Presented) Two Bs in a pod: The first 1,2-diborylated ferrocene (see structure) was obtained upon reaction of PhBCl2 with 1,1′-bis(trimethylstannyl)ferrocene. Conformational changes in this highly rigid species are triggered either through redox chemistry or the binding of nucleophiles, to render the complex an interesting candidate for the design of new types of molecular machines.
