Graphical Abstract

Pentaphosphaferrocene coordinates as a π ligand to the large monocation Tl+. In addition, one of the phosphorus atoms of each cyclo-P5 moiety coordinates to a neighboring Tl+ ion to give a one-dimensional polymer. Even at low temperatures, fast rotation of the P5 rings is observed in solution and in the solid state.
