Abstract
The title compound, [Fe(C5H5)(C14H19N2)], is characterized by a ferrocenyl group separated from an imidazole functionality by a straight-chain hexyl unit. The two cyclopentadienyl rings of the ferrocenyl group show a marginal inward tilt of 2.17 (2)°. The imidazole unit, which is essentially planar (with a maximum deviation of 0.007 A for one of the N atoms) and tilted away from the ferrocenyl group [dihedral angle between the substituted ferrocenyl ring and the imidazole = 122.6 (1)°], is involved in intermolecular C—H⋯N interactions.
