Four diferrocenyl pyridine derivatives were synthesized via [2+2+2] cycloaddition reaction using FcCCH and PhCN or CH3CN as reactants, CpCo(CO)2 or Co2(CO)6(μ2-η2-FcCCH) as a catalyst. Four diferrocenyl pyridine derivatives, 4,6-diferrocenyl-2-phenylpyridine (1), 3,6-diferrocenyl-2-phenylpyridine (2...
