In contrast to the well-explored chemistry of ferrocene only a few example of low-coordinate iron half sandwich complexes have been reported. These half-sandwich molecules are interesting due to their unique structure, reactivity and electronic and magnetic properties.Here we report on the reactivity of [Cp'FeI]2 (Cp' = 1,2,4-((Me3C)3C5H2) pseudohalides, e.g. OCN� coordinates via the N-end to the two iron atoms and [Cp'Fe(NCO)]2 exists as a dimer in solid state. N3�, SCN� and SeCN� are cleaved during the reaction to form �-nitrido, �-sulfido and �-diselenido bridged complexes.Each Fe center of these complexes shows various electronic and magnetic properties.
