Although Niecke et al. have succeeded in the synthesis of a marginally stable ferrocenyldiphosphene, Mes*P=PFc (Mes* = 2,4,6-tri-tert- butylphenyl) as a novel conjugated system, they reported that this diphosphene undergoes ready dimerization under ambient conditions.

38. +), respectively, indicating oxidation potentials lower than those of 1. However, it should be difficult to draw a conclusion on the basis of these results, since the solvent effects should not be negligible.
39. The second step of the oxidation and reduction process should reflect the HOMO and LUMO of the cation and dianion species of 1, respectively, though the definitive conclusion of the theoretical calculations on the dication and trianion species of 1 has not been obtained at present. Optimized structures of the neutral, cation, and dianion species of 1 are given in the Supporting Information.
