The first aluminium‐bridged [1.1]­ferrocenophane

The structure of the title compound, bis(μ-ferrocene-1,1′-diyl)­bis­[chloro(N,N,N′N′-tetra­methyl­ethyl­enedi­amine)­aluminium], [Al2Fe2Cl2(C5H4)4(C6H16N2)2], possesses a center of inversion and an anti conformation. Bound to each Al atom in the bridging position are one Cl atom and one mol­ecule of N,N,N′N′-tetra­methyl­ethyl­enedi­amine (TMEDA). The angle between the least-squares planes of the two cyclo­penta­dienyl (Cp) ligands is 3.6 (3)°. The five C atoms in the Cp rings are staggered on average at an angle of 10.3 (5)°.
