(E)-1-Ferrocenyl-3-(2-meth-oxy-phen-yl)prop-2-en-1-one.

ABSTRACT: The structure of the title compound, [Fe(C5H5)(C15H13O2)], consists of a ferrocenyl moiety and a 2-meth-oxy-phenyl group linked through a prop-2-en-1-one spacer in an E conformation. In the ferrocene unit, the substituted cyclo-penta-dienyl (Cps) ring and the unsubstituted cyclo-penta-dienyl ring (Cp) are almost parallel to one another [dihedral angle = 1.78?(14)°], and the Cp and Cps rings are in a gauche conformation. The benzene ring is twisted by 10.02?(14) and 11.38?(11)° with respect to the Cp and Cps rings, respectively. In the crystal, mol-ecules are linked by weak C-H?O hydrogen bonds into supra-molecular chains running along the b-axis direction.
