The C₂-symmetrical “salen” ligand (+)-9 bearing two [5]ferrocenophane substituents has been prepared in five steps starting from readily available diacetylferrocene, p-hydroxybenzaldehyde and (R,R)-N,N’-diphenylethylenediamine. Reaction of (+)-9 with Mn(OAc)₃, Co(OAc)₂ ZnEt₂ or UO₂(OAc)₂ gave the corresponding metal-complexes which were characterised by spectroscopic methods.
