Crystal structure of (±)-1-({[4-(allyloxy)phenyl]sulfanyl}methyl)-2-(diphenylthiophosphoryl)ferrocene

Abstract

The title compound, [Fe(C5H5)(C27H24OPS2)], is built up from a ferrocene moiety substituted in the 1- and 2-positions by {[4-(allyloxy)phenyl]sulfanyl}methyl and diphenylthiophosphoryl groups, respectively. The two S atoms lie on opposite sides of the cyclopentadienyl ring plane to which they are attached. In the crystal, C—H...S hydrogen bonds link the molecules into a ribbon running parallel to the (-110) plane. C—H...π interactions link the ribbons to form a three-dimensional network.
