While the majority of all ferrocene derivatives described so far [1, 2] contain the sandwich unit in an organic environment, i.e., attached to carbon, nearly all elements of the Periodic Table (except the rare gases) are apparently able to bind directly to the cyclopentadienyl rings of ferrocene. In particular, homoleptic ferrocenyl compounds of almost all non-metal elements are known (Table 5-1), two remarkable missing links being OFcj and ASFC3 . Furthermore, the number of homoleptic... 

The system of the homoleptic ( binary ) element-ferrocenyl compounds is more limited than that of the corresponding element-phenyl compounds. Whereas stable homoleptic a-phenyl derivatives of almost all main group elements (Groups 1, 2 and 13 — 17) have been characterized, the corresponding Periodic Table of the main...
