1,4-Diferrocenylbutane-1,4-Dione

Abstract

In the crystal structure of the title compound, [Fe2(C5H5)2(C14H12O2)], each carbonyl group is coplanar with the adjacent cyclo-penta-dienyl ring, thus maximizing the π-orbital overlap and electronic inter-actions between the groups. In the crystal structure, there are inter- and intra-molecular C - H⋯O contacts.
