Abstract
The title metallocenium salts form crystalline 2:1 host:guest inclusion compounds withα-cyclodextrin, [(η5-C5H5)2M]PF6 · 2α-CD · 8H2O (1, M = Fe;2, M = Co;3, M = Rh). The X-ray crystal structures of1 and3, and the lattice constants, crystal system and space group of2 have been determined. Crystal data: triclinic, space groupP1 (No. 1),Z = 1;1,a = 13.865 (2) Å,b = 13.839 (2) Å,c = 15.520 (2) Å,α = 91.43 (2)°,β = 85.81 (2)°,γ = 120.22 (2)°, andR F = 0.089 for 4257 observed MoK α reflections [I > 3δ(I)];2,a = 13.810 (2) Å,b = 13.872 (2) Å,c = 15.560 (2) Å,α = 93.99 (2)°,β = 87.06 (2)°,γ = 120.04 (2)°;3,a = 13.756 (1) Å,b = 13.863 (1) Å,c = 15.561 (2) Å,α =94.39 (1)°,β = 86.92 (1)°,γ = 119.89 (1)°, andR F = 0.061 for 11142 observed MoK α reflections [I > 3δ(I)]. In the crystals of1 and3, two α-cyclodextrin molecules are arranged head-to-head to form a dimer by means of intermolecular hydrogen bonding across the secondary hydroxyl faces of adjacent α-CD monomers. The dimers are stacked along the crystallographicc axis to form a channel-type structure. The metallocenium cation is encapsulated within the cavity of the dimer, while the PF −6 anion is located outside the cavity, being centered between the primary hydroxyl faces of adjacent dimers. Eight water molecules of hydration per asymmetric unit reside in the spaces between the α-CD columns. In view of the almost identical crystal data for2 a similar structure can be assumed for the cobaltocenium adduct.

Note added in proof: After submission of this paper the crystal structure analysis of the 2:1 α-CD: ferrocene adduct was published (Y. Odagaki, K. Hirotsu, T. Higuchi, A. Harada, and S. Takahashi:J. Chem. Soc., Perkin Trans. I 1230 (1990)). This structure is isomorphous to the 2:1 α-CD adduct of the ferrocenium salt we report here. It is noteworthy that the two Cp-rings of the guest molecule in the structure reported by Hirotsu et al. adopt a staggered arrangement, whereas we observe a nearly eclipsed conformation similar to that of free ferrocene. The calculated model [4] detects essentially no energy difference between eclipsed and staggered ferrocene.

These angles agree well with the values found of the corresponding angles in the crystal structure (42°, [5]) and the docking calculations (∼45°, [4]) of the ferrocene adduct.
