Description
Summary:	Ferrocene piano-stool complexes are synthesized by chemical oxidation of ferrocene in the presence of isocyanide ligand. [Display omitted] ► A new synthetic route to ferrocene isocyanide piano stool complexes is provided. ► The complexes are characterized using spectroscopic methods. ► Electrochemistry of the complexes is investigated by cyclic voltammetry. Ferrocene piano-stool isocyanide complexes ([CpFeL3]+, Cp=η5-C5H5, L=tert-butyl isocyanide (1), cyclohexyl isocyanide (2), and 2,6-dimethylphenyl isocyanide (3)) are formed by chemical oxidation of ferrocene in the presence of a stoichiometric amount of isocyanide ligand (1:3). The complexes are characterized by elemental analysis, routine spectroscopic methods (IR, 1H NMR, 13C NMR, and UV–Vis), and cyclic voltammetry.
