    Reaction of rac-5 with PhBCl2: Isolation of FcPPh2·BH3 During the course of our studies we also attempted the synthesis of boron-bridged diferrocenes.

    However, we could only isolate the parent species FcPPh2·BH3, presumable due to protonolysis.

    The lack of analytical data on FcPPh2·BH3 in the literature encouraged us to perform a full

    characterization. The MALDI-TOF mass spectrum of FcPPh2·BH3 showed a molecular ion peak

    at m/z = 767.5008, suggesting the presence of a dimer with loss of H2.

    Synthetic Procedure: A solution of rac-5 (0.052 g, 0.084 mmol) in toluene (10 mL) was slowly

    added to a solution of PhBCl2 (0.007 g, 0.042 mmol, 0.5 equiv) in toluene (2 mL) at ‒27 oC

    inside a glovebox. The mixture was stirred at room temperature for two days and heated at 90 oC

    overnight in a sealed flask. A grey solid was formed, which was removed by filtration and the

    solvent was evaporated in vacuum to leave a yellow-orange residue. The latter was taken in a

    minimum of THF and passed through a plug of Al2O3 eluted with THF/hexane. The first band

    was concentrated, dissolved in CH2Cl2, layered with hexanes and stored at ‒25 oC. An orange

    solid crystallized that was identified to be ferrocenylphosphine-borane adduct FcPPh2·BH3.

    Yield: 0.023 g (69%). 1H NMR (499.9 MHz, CDCl3, 25 oC): δ = 7.59 (m, 4H, Ph), 7.47 (m, 2H,

    Ph), 7.41 (m, 4H, Ph), 4.51 (nr, 2H, Cp), 4.42 (nr, 2H, Cp), 4.10 (s, 5H, free Cp), 1.25 (brm, 3H,

    BH3). 13C{1H} NMR (125.7 MHz, CDCl3, 25 oC): δ = 133.0 (d, 2JP,C = 9 Hz, o-Ph), 131.7 (d, 1JP,C = 59 Hz, i-Ph), 131.2 (s, p-Ph), 128.8 (d, 3JP,C = 10 Hz, m-Ph), 73.1 (d, JP,C = 10 Hz, Cp),

    72.2 (d, 1JP,C = 8 Hz, Cp), 70.1 (s, free Cp), 69.1 (d, 1JP,C = 69 Hz, i-Cp-P). 31P{1H} NMR

    (202.5 MHz, CDCl3, 25 oC): δ = 16.0 (nr). 11B{1H} NMR (160.4 MHz, CDCl3, 25 oC): ‒38.4

    (nr). High-resolution MALDI-TOF MS (positive mode, anthracene): m/z 370.0545

    ([(FcPPh2)+H]+, 100%, calcd for 12C221H1911B56Fe31P 370.0568).

    Experimental IR Spectral Data and Calculated Frequencies

    ATR-FTIR analysis of compound (pS)-3 revealed two strong and broad absorption bands at 2403 and 2378 cm-1 corresponding to the B‒H stretching frequencies. These bands are significantly shifted to 2417 and 2314 cm-1 in the IR spectrum of (pS)-4. DFT frequency calculations of the optimized structures predict absorption bands for 3 at 2462, 2524, and 2538 cm-1; and for (pS)-4 at 2443, 2505 and 2546 cm-1. According to the computed results, the B‒H stretching frequencies involved in an agostic-type interaction with the tin atom are assigned to be those at 2538 ((pS)-3) and 2443 ((pS)-4) cm-1, which suggests a bathochromic shift of 95 cm-1 that is similar to the bathochromic shift (89 cm-1) when comparing the experimentally observed bands at 2403 cm-1 in (pS)-3 and 2314 cm-1 in (pS)-4. The ATR-FTIR spectra of the parent compound FcPPh2·BH3 showed a broad absorption band at 2380 cm-1.
