The sequentially fluorinated ferrocenes (1-, 1,2-di, 1,2,3-tri, 1,2,3,4-tetra and 1,2,3,4,5-pentafluoroferrocene) have been synthesized from ferrocene. Rather than a 'perfluoro' effect, experimental and computational analysis of the complete series robustly demonstrates a linear additive effect of fluorine on the electrochemical and spectroscopic properties of ferrocene.
