Abstract
The title compound was prepared by modified procedure and characterized by means of IR, [1H] and [13C] NMR spectroscopy. The structure was also determined by a single-crystal X-ray diffraction (XRD). 3-Ferrocenylpropanoic acid crystallizes as orange prisms in the triclinic space group P\(\overline 1\) with a = 7.645(1) A, b = 7.953(1) A, c = 9.961(1) A, α = 81.67(1)○, β = 68.43(1)○, γ = 83.76(1)○, V = 556.3(1) A3, Z = 2, R = 0.0435. In the ferrocene skeleton, Fe-C distances are in the range 2.033(2)–2.052(2) A and C\(---\)C distances in the range 1.412(5)–1.431(3) A. The angle defined by ring centers and Fe atom is 177.7(1)○. The cyclopentadienyl rings are twisted from the eclipsed conformation by 8.3(2)○ (average value). In the structure was observed strong intermolecular hydrogen bond of 2.670(3) A forming cyclic dimers of the R22 (8) type.
