(E)-1-Ferrocenyl-3-(4-methoxy-phen-yl)-prop-2-en-1-one.

ABSTRACT: In the title compound, [Fe(C(5)H(5))(C(15)H(13)O(2))], a conjugated substituent group bridges a five-membered η(5)-C(5)H(4) ring and a benzene ring. In the ferrocene unit, the substituted (Cps) and unsubstituted (Cp) cyclo-penta-dienyl rings are eclipsed and almost parallel [Cps-Fe-Cps angle = 176.1 (2)°]. The mol-ecule is linked into an S(5) motif via intra-molecular C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds. The mol-ecules are arranged into a three-dimensional framework by five inter-molecular C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds and one inter-molecular C-H⋯π(Cps) inter-action.
