2-Ferrocenyl-3-methoxy-6-methylpyridine

Abstract

In the title compound, [Fe(C5H5)(C12H12NO)], the dihedral angle between the pyridyl and substituted cyclopentadienyl rings is 23.58 (3)°. The crystal structure is characterized by weak intermolecular C—H...N hydrogen-bonding contacts, leading to the formation of chains running parallel to the n-glide planes. A weak intermolecular C—H...π contact is also present.
