The ansa-ferrocene complex [1,1‘-fc(Bbipy)2O](PF6)2 {[5](PF6)2; fc = (η5-C5H4)2Fe} has been synthesized and structurally characterized. Electronic communication between the two 2,2‘-bipyridylboronium substituents was observed, suggesting the reduced forms [5]+ and [5]- to be partially delocalized redox intermediates
