3-Anilino-1-ferrocenylpropan-1-one

Abstract

In the title ferrocene derivative, [Fe(C5H5)(C14H14NO)], the dihedral angle between the mean planes of the phenyl ring and the substituted cyclopentadienyl ring is 84.4 (1)°. The molecules are connected into centrosymmetric dimers via N—H...O hydrogen bonds. In addition, C—H...O and C—H...N contacts stabilize the crystal packing.
