Coexistence of Metallocene Cations and Anions.

ABSTRACT: We report the synthesis and structural characterization of the rhodocene anion [Rh(C₅Me₅)(C₅(CF₃)₅)]^- [1]^- as the [Co(C₅Me₅)₂]⁺ salt, representing an unprecedented coexistence of metallocene cations and anions in different oxidation states. [Co(C₅Me₅)₂]⁺ [1]^- was synthesized by the reduction of the rhodocenium cation [Rh(C₅Me₅)(C₅(CF₃)₅)][BF₄] ([1]⁺[BF₄]^-) with two equivalents of decamethylcobaltocene [Co(C₅Me₅)₂], since the strongly electron-withdrawing effect of th
