Characterisation of metal complexes of substituted ferrocene

The multi nuclear complexes involving Si(IV), Sn(IV), Ti(IV), Zr(IV) and Hf(IV) chlorides with ferrocene derivative has not been reported nor any effort has been made to synthesize such complexes. The complexes presented in this chapter are novel in the sense that they contain four metal ions and one of them is either Si(IV), Sn(IV), Ti(IV), Zr(IV) or Hf(IV) involving ferrocene. The multinuclear complexes have been synthesized by following strict dry conditions using dry box flushed with nitrogen. In the process of synthesis of the complexes, the ferrocene derivatives, which was used as ligand.
