Feeling the strain: The first example of metal–metal bonding between strained [n]metallocenophanes is reported. A dicarba[2]ruthenocenophanium dimer has been synthesised through the oxidation of a dicarba[2]ruthenocenophane (see figure). The structural and electrochemical characterisation of the dimer is also discussed.

- 21The osmocenium dicationic dimer has been synthesised and structurally characterised through a reaction of osmocene with [NH4]2[Ce(NO3)6] followed by a salt metathesis of the ceric salt with NH4PF6 to yield the [(Cp2Os)2][PF6]2 product. For details see: M. W. Droege, W. D. Harman, H. Taube, Inorg. Chem. 1987, 26, 1309–1315.
- 22To establish the chemical reversibility of the synthesis of dimer 4, reduction with an excess of decamethylcolbaltocene in CD3NO2 was studied. 1H NMR spectroscopic analysis revealed complete conversion of dimer 4 to the precursor dicarba[2]ruthenocenophane 3.
- 23The UV/Vis solvent cut-off for Me3NO2 was taken to be 400 nm. For details, see: G. W. C. Kaye, T. H. Laby, Tables of Physical and Chemical Constants, 16th ed., The National Physics Laboratory, Middlesex, 1995.

- 25The torsion angles between the four Cp centroid positions and the two Ru-metal centres are as follows: 87.2(1), 88.9(1), 89.1(1), 94.8(1)o. The variation in these values reflects slight distortions in each dicarba[2]ruthenocenophane.

- 29The differences in the α angles between the two dicarba[2]ruthenocenophane units in dimer 4 appear to arise due to crystal packing effects.
