✦ Synopsis

Organometallic complexes with p-conjugated bridges have gained importance in view of potential applications in the emerging field of molecular-scale electronic devices. 2] An attractive pursuit in this area is the design of molecular wire precursors that allow exchange of electrons through bridges between remote terminal groups. [2±6] A variety of different approaches have been applied to construct such entities, the majority of which have contained an even number of carbon atoms in the bridge. [2, By contrast, only a few complexes with ZUSCHRIFTEN
