Synthetic procedure: See article for the definitive version of this procedure and for full experimental details.

A 250 mL round-bottom flask was charged with FeCl3·6H2O (0.07 g, 0.26 mmol), 2b (0.200 g, 0.52 mmol), NaPF6 (0.043 g, 0.26 mmol), and NaOtBu (0.050 g, 0.52 mmol). MeOH (50 mL) was added and the flask was stirred and refluxed at 100 °C overnight. The flask was then cooled to room temperature and the solvent removed. The brown solid was dissolved in minimal CH2Cl2 and added slowly to 100 mL of pentane to precipitate the compound. The mixture was then filtered and the solid collected. Isolated yield = 0.180 g (72 %). 1H NMR (CDCl3, 300 MHz, 25 °C): δ 29.0 (br), 19.3 (br), 11.1 (s), 10.6 (s), 3.1 (s), 2.9 (s), -8.9 (br), -29.6 (br), -31.9 (br), -49.9 (br), -56.5 (br), -61.4 (v br), -64.7 ppm (v br). 19F NMR (CDCl3, 282 MHz, 25 °C): δ -70.6 (d, 6F, J = 712.8 Hz, PF6), -82.0 ppm (s, 3F, CF3). UV-Vis (CH3CN): λ (ε) 312 (sh), 412 (22 630), 505 (11 100), 996 nm (4 000 M-1 cm-1). μeff (Evans method) = 1.72 μB. Anal. Calcd for FeC46H26N6F12P: C, 56.52; H, 2.68. Found: C, 56.57; H, 2.66.
