Abstract

In the title compound, [Fe(C5H5)(C12H11N2)], the cyclopentadienyl rings are present in an eclipsed conformation. The imine is E-configured. In the crystal, C—H⋯N interactions involving both N atoms connect the molecules into two undulating sheets perpendicular to the b axis. The centroid–centroid distance between the two aromatic systems in the ferrocenyl moiety is 3.2928 (18) Å. A C–H⋯π interaction is also present.

Summary

Bruker APEXII CCD diffractometer

Cg is the centroid of the C21–C25 ring. R factor = 0.033; wR factor = 0.073; data-to-parameter ratio = 17.8. In the title compound, [Fe(C5H5)(C12H11N2)], the cyclopentadienyl rings are present in an eclipsed conformation. C—H N interactions involving both N atoms connect the molecules into two undulating sheets perpendicular to the b axis. Centroid distance between the two aromatic systems in the ferrocenyl moiety is 3.2928 (18) Å.
