Sandwich compound

Japanese: サンドイッチ化合物 - サンドイッチかごうぶつ(英語表記)sandwich compound
Sandwich compound
A compound in which two planar polyatomic molecules or ions are arranged in parallel, with a metal atom between them, forming a sandwich-like shape. Typical planar molecules or ions include cyclopentadienyl, indenyl, benzene, and phthalocyanine. For example, bis(cyclopentadienyl)iron(II) (known as ferrocene), a typical example, was first synthesized in 1951 by J. Kealy and P.L. Pauson in England, independently. It has a sandwich structure (also called a drum shape) in which the regular pentagons of the cyclopentadienyl rings are shifted by 54 degrees and overlap, as shown in the figure, and attracted attention as a compound with a structure that had never been known before.

平面状の多原子分子あるいはイオンが2枚平行に並び,その間に金属原子を挟んでちょうどサンドイッチのような形になっている化合物。平面状分子ないしはイオンとしては,シクロペンタジエニル,インデニル,ベンゼン,フタロシアニンなどがその典型的なものである。たとえばその代表的なものであるビス(シクロペンタジエニル)鉄(II)(フェロセンとよばれている)は,1951年イギリスのキーリーJ.KealyとポーソンP.L.Pausonがそれぞれ独立にはじめてつくった化合物であるが,図のようなシクロペンタジエニル環の正五角形が54度ずれて重なったサンドイッチ構造(鼓形ともいわれる)をしており,それまでにまったく知られていなかった構造をとる化合物ということで注目された。
