The molecular structure of a ferrocene derivative with adjacent centers of chirality, 1,1'-bis(tert-butylphosphino)ferrocene, has been examined in the gas phase using broadband microwave spectroscopy under the isolated and cold conditions of a supersonic jet. The diastereomers of 1,1'-bis(tert-butylphosphino)ferrocene can adopt homo- and hetero-chiral configurations, owing to the P-chiral substituents on the cyclopentadienyl rings. Moreover, the internal ring rotation of each diastereomer gives rise to four conformers with eclipsed ring arrangements, where the two tert-butylphosphino groups were separated by dihedral angles of approximately 72°, 144°, 216°, and 288° with respect to the two ring centers.

For randomly oriented molecules, we observe spin polarization up to about 15%, which is independent of the molecular enantiomer. Our experimental findings are explained theoretically as an intricate interplay between three contributions from HOMO, HOMO-1, and HOMO-2, which are formed of 5p-electrons of the iodine atom.

In the experiment, fish were exposed to TMX in four groups (0, 50, 100 and 150 ppm) for 7 days. At the end of the experiment, biochemical analysis of blood samples showed that the parameters indicating renal function showed a significant increase in serum enzymes ALT, AST, ALP and metabolites (BUN, urea, uric acid, creatinine and cortisol) concentrations, while albumin concentration decreased in a dose-dependent manner compared to the control group.

These bisphosphanes are reacted with SnBr and PbCl with and without additional Lewis acid (AlCl) forming acyclic and cyclic donor adducts from which the latter represent bisphosphoniotetrylenes. Since dynamic exchange in solution is observed, characterization includes solution and solid-state NMR in addition to SC-XRD, amended by DFT calculations.
