Dicarbon-yl(?(5)-cyclo-penta-dien-yl)(hexa-methyl-enetetra-mine-?N(1))iron(II) tetra-fluoridoborate.

ABSTRACT: In the structure of the title compound, [Fe(C(5)H(5))(C(6)H(12)N(4))(CO)(2)]BF(4), the arrangement around the Fe(II) atom corresponds to that of a three-legged piano stool. The cyclo-penta-dienyl ligand occupies three coordination sites of the apical position in a ?(5) fashion, while two CO ligands and one N atom of the hexa-methyl-ene-tetra-mine ligand occupy the remaining coordination sites to complete a distorted octa-hedral geometry. The asymmetric unit consists of two sets of crystallographically independent cations and anions with the r.m.s. deviations of the overlay of non-H atoms of each pair being 0.081 and 0.120?Å, respectively. The Fe-N bond lengths are 2.0459?(15) and 2.0490?(14)?Å, while the Fe-Cp(centroid) distances are 1.7257?(3) and 1.7246?(3)?Å. One of the anions displays disorder, with the F atoms having occupancies of 0.58?(4) and 0.42?(4).
