Crystal structure of {[1′-(diphenylphosphino)ferrocenyl]methyl}dimethylammonium chloride monohydrate

Abstract

Individual ions and the solvating water molecule constituting the structure of the title compound, [Fe(C8H13N)(C17H14P)]Cl·H2O, assemble into dimeric units located around crystallographic inversion centers via N—H...Cl and O—H...Cl hydrogen bonds. These discrete fragments are further interconnected into chains by C—H...O interactions. The disubstituted ferrocene core in the {[1′-(diphenylphosphino)ferrocenyl]methyl}dimethylammonium cation has an approximate synclinal eclipsed conformation and is tilted by 3.40 (11)°.
