2-(3-Chlorobenzoyl)-3-(3,4-dichlorophenyl)-1-(4-ferrocenylphenyl)guanidine

Abstract

In the title compound, [Fe(C5H5)(C25H17Cl3N3O)], the isolated cyclopentadienyl (Cp) ring is disordered over two set of sites in a 0.577 (8):0.423 (8) ratio. The dihedral angle between the other Cp ring and its attached benzene ring is 13.6 (3)°, and that between the benzene ring and the guanidine group is 64.8 (2)°. One of the N—H groups forms both an intra- and an intermolecular N—H...O hydrogen bond; the other N—H group does not form any hydrogen bonds. In the crystal, pairs of the intermolecular N—H...O hydrogen bonds link the molecules into inversion dimers.
