(η5-Cyclopentadienyl)[(1,2,3,4,4a,12a-η)-naphtho[2,3-b][1,4]benzodioxine]iron(II) hexafluoridophosphate

Abstract

At 296 (2) K, both complexed rings in the iron(II) complex cation of the title salt, [Fe(C5H5)(C16H10O2)]PF6, are almost parallel [dihedral angle between planes = 2.4 (3)°]. The quaternary C atoms of the complexed arene ring are located at the longest distance from the Fe atom, with Fe—C distances of 2.112 (4) and 2.105 (3) Å, which are slightly longer than the average Fe—C distance for this ring (2.083 Å). The Fe ion is located 1.660 (1) and 1.543 (1) Å, respectively, from the cyclopentadienyl and the complexed arene ring.
