N-Ferrocenymethyl-N-phenylacetamide

Abstract

In the title compound, [Fe(C5H5)(C14H14NO)], the asymmetric unit comprises two unique molecules. The two cyclopentadienyl (Cp) rings of each ferrocene residue are nearly parallel to one another. In each substituted Cp ring, the CH2 group carries an N-phenylacetamide residue. In the crystal, C—H...O hydrogen bonds stack molecules along a.
