Intermolecular interactions in N‐(ferrocenyl­methyl)­anthracene‐9‐carbox­amide

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.
