Abstract: | The title compound, Fe(C5H5)(C21H16NO)], was synthesized from the coupling reaction of anthracene‐9‐carboxylic acid and ferrocenylmethylamine. The ferrocenyl (Fc) group and the anthracene ring system both lie approximately orthogonal to the amide moiety. An amide–amide interaction (along the a axis) is the principal interaction N?O = 2.910 (2) Å]. A C—H?π(arene) interaction C?centroid = 3.573 (2) Å] and a C—H?O interaction C?O = 3.275 (3) Å] complete the hydrogen bonding; two short (Fc)C?C(anthracene) contacts are also present. |
