Description
Summary:In the title compound, [Fe(C5H5)(C11H8Br)], the distance of the Fe atom from the centroids of the unsubstituted and substituted cyclopentadienyl (Cp) rings is 1.644 (1) and 1.643 (1) Å, respectively. The ferrocenyl moiety deviates from an eclipsed geometry, with marginally tilted Cp rings and an interplanar angle between the Cp and benzene rings of 13.0 (4)°. The crystal structure is stabilized by C—H...π interactions between a cyclopentadienyl H atom and the cyclopentadienyl ring of a neighbouring molecule.
