2-Chloro-1-ferrocenylethanol

Abstract

In the title compound, [Fe(C5H5)(C7H8ClO)], the ferrocene cyclopentadiene rings are slightly staggered and inclined to one another at an angle of 0.79 (13)°. In the crystal, C—H...Cl and C—H...O hydrogen bonds each form inversion dimers and these combine with an edge-to-face C—H...π hydrogen bond to stack the molecules along the b-axis direction.
