Synthesis and crystal structure of [(S_p )-(2-phenyl-ferrocen-yl)meth-yl]tri-methyl-ammonium iodide di-chloro-methane monosolvate.

ABSTRACT: As a follow-up to our research on the chemistry of disubstituted ferrocene derivatives, the synthesis and the structure of the title compound, [Fe(C₅H₅)(C₁₅H₁₉N)]I·CH₂Cl₂, is described. The cation mol-ecule is built up from a ferrocene disubstituted by a tri-methyl-ammonium methyl group and a phenyl ring. The asymmetric unit contains the iodide to equilibrate the charge and a disordered di-chloro-methane solvate. The disordered model results from a roughly statistical exchange (0.6/0.4) between one Cl and one H. The packing of the structure is stabilized by weak C-H⋯X (X = I, Cl), C-H⋯π(Cp) and C-Cl⋯π(phen-yl) inter-actions, building a three-dimensional network. The cation has planar chirality with S_p</
