A molecular mechanics scheme developed for bridged ferrocene derivatives was applied to study the conformational energy surface of [1.1] ferrocenophane (1). The mechanism of the intramolecular interconversion of 1 is shown to be different from the mechanism of the syn – syn exchange proposed earlier for this ‘molecular acrobat’.
