Description
Summary:The title compound, [Fe(C5H5)(C18H32N)], was synthesized by the amination of ferrocenecarbaldehyde. In the complex, the two cyclopentadienyl (Cp) rings are almost parallel with a dihedral angle of 1.36 (8)°, and are separated by a centroid–centroid distance of 3.299 (2) Å. In the crystal, adjacent molecules are linked into a one-dimensional supramolecular structure via weak C—H...π interactions between the Cp ring H atom and the Cp ring.
