23. Polymers containing ferrocene, silicon, and an unsaturated hydrocarbon were prepared by Sheridan and co-workers, who successfully carried out hydrosilylation reactions of 12 with diethynylbenzene spacers to yield poly[ferrocene(phenylene)bis(silylenevinylene)]s. In this work, metal insertion is exclusively through the Si-H bonds. See: Jain, R.; Lalancette, R. A.; Sheridan, J. B. Organometallics 2005, 24, 1458-1467.

25. 2H groups in the presence of Mg metal to yield a disilane bridge. The favorable ring-tilt of cyclopentadienyl rings toward each other in this structure suggests that formation of an intramolecular Si-Si bond is likely, as the distance between silicon atoms is considerably shorter than in the case of 12.
