(S)-1-Diphenyl-phosphanyl-2-{(S)-[2-(diphenyl-phosphan-yl)phen-yl]hydroxy-meth-yl}ferrocene
Abstract:
The absolute configuration of the title compound, [Fe(C(5)H(5))(C(36)H(29)OP(2))], is S(p) at the ferrocene group and S at the asymmetric C atom. Both P atoms have a trigonal-pyramidal conformation. There is a short intra-molecular C-H⋯P contact with an H⋯P distance of 2.56 Å. The hydr-oxy group is involved in an intra-molecular O-H⋯π(phen-yl) inter-action. The crystal packing shows five very weak inter-molecular C-H⋯π contacts, with H⋯Cg distances between 3.26 and 3.39 Å (Cg is the centroid of a phenyl or cyclo-penta-dienyl ring).

Crystal Field Theory - Octahedral Complexes
To explain the observed behavior of transition metal complexes (such as colors), a model involving electrostatic interactions between the electrons from the ligands and the electrons in the unhybridized d orbitals of the central metal atom has been developed. This electrostatic model is crystal field theory (CFT). It helps to understand, interpret, and predict the colors, magnetic behavior, and some structures of coordination compounds of transition metals.
