Summary. 6,6,8,ferrocenophane 2 was obtained from the di(alkoxysilyl) ferrocene (H4CsSiMe2OR)2Fe (R = CH2CH2OCH2CH2OCH2CHEOMe ) by hydrolysis and subsequent intramolecular disiloxane formation. 2,2',3,Y,4,4',5,5',6,6,8,ferrocenophane 3 was formed by air oxidation of 2,2'3,3 ',4,4',5,5',6,6,7,7-dodecamethyl-6,7-disila[2]ferrocenophane. The crystal structures of both compounds were determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction (2: a=8.5330 (10) Keywords.
