Introducing a ferrocene moiety into a molecule results in the incorporation of a metal center and a redox active moiety. This contribution describes the synthesis of FcN(CH 2 PPh 2 ) 2 (1; Fc = ferrocenyl), a ferrocene analog of the widely studied bisphosphane pincer ligands, RN(CH 2 PPh 2 ) 2 . Compound 1 was studied as a ligand in complexes of Group 10 and 11 metal ions. The following compounds were synthesized and characterized using a combination of spectroscopic methods and single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis: the square planar complexes [MX 2 (1-k 2 P,P')] (M/X = Ni/Cl, Pd/Cl, Pd/Br, Pd/I and Pt/ Cl) and the tetrahedral complexes [M(1-k 2 P,P') 2 ]X (M/X = Cu/PF 6 , Ag/SbF 6 and Au/SbF 6 ). Furthermore, a pair of open and cyclic digold(I) complexes containing bis-phosphane 1 as a P,Pbridging ligand, viz. [(μ(P,P')-1)(AuCl) 2 ] and [(μ(P,P')-1) 2 Au 2 ][SbF 6 ] 2 , were isolated. Ligand 1, the corresponding phosphane selenide 1-Se and all complexes (except for the poorly soluble [(μ(P,P')-1) 2 Au 2 ][SbF 6 ] and unstable [Ag(1k 2 P,P') 2 ][SbF 6 ]) were further analyzed by cyclic voltammetry.
