The preparation of a series of tentacled organoiron and organic compounds resulting from the Fe(η5-C5H5)+ mediated hexa p-alkoxybenzylation of hexamethylbenzene is achieved in one pot with variable chain lengths; the X-ray crystal structure of [Fe(η5-C5H5)C6(CH2CH2-p-EtOC6H4)6]+PF6 - shows two proximal chains and four distal ones.
