2-Amino-4-ferrocenylthiazole

Abstract

The title compound, [Fe(C5H5)(C8H7N2S)], was synthesized by the direct reaction of acetylferrocene, thiourea and resublimed iodine. The structure shows one molecule in the asymmetric unit. The aminothiazole ring makes an angle of 14.53 (13)° with the ferrocenyl ring to which it is attached. In the crystal, pairs of complex molecules interact via intermolecular N—H...N hydrogen bonds, forming a cyclic dimer which then interacts with other dimers through C—H...π interactions.
