The title compound, [Fe(C(5)H(5))(C(7)H(5)Cl(2))], represents a versatile building block for the preparation of π-conjugated redox-active compounds or polymetallic organometallic systems due to the presence of the electrochemically active ferrocenyl unit. It is therefore a potential starting material for the preperation of the corresponding alkyne. In the crystal, the alkenyl unit and the cyclo-penta-dienide ring are almost parallel, with an angle between the best planes of only 10.6 (4)°. ...[more]
