Hexamethylbenzenecyclopentadienyliron cation (I)was synthesised bythermal reaction of hexamethylbenzene with aluminium powder,anhydrous aluminium chloride, ferrocene and ammonium reineckate salt.The multifunctionalization of I by KOH and allyl bromide over 12 daysgave the compound[(C_5H_5)FeC_6(CH_2-CH=CH_2)_12]+(II). Thetreatment of (II)with Fe_3(CO)_12 afforded the complex[(C_5H_5)FeC_6(CH_2-CH=CH_2)_12{Fe(CO)_3}_6]+(III).
