Crystal Structure of Hydrochlorate of 1,1'-Bis[(4-pyridylamino)carbonyl]ferrocene

The hydrochlorate of 1,1?-bis(4-pyridylamino)carbonyl]ferrocene (C23H23O3N4ClFe, Mr = 494.75) was structurally characterized by means of X-ray single-crystal diffraction. It crystallizes in triclinic, space group P1 with a = 9.5299(19), b = 12.792(3), c = 9.2644(19) ?, α = 91.56(3), β = 101.97(3), γ = 74.71(3)°, V = 1065.2(4) ?3, Z = 2, Dc = 1.542 g/cm3, F(000) = 512, μ(MoKα) = 0.868 mm-1, T = 291(2) K, the final R = 0.0596 and wR = 0.1531 for 2842 observed reflections with I > 2σ(I). Interestingly, two 1,1?- bis(4-pyridylamino)carbonyl]ferrocenes (4-BPFA) join shoulder-to-shoulder through intermolecular hydrogen bonds N–H…N, forming an unexpected macrocycle with dimensions of 3.385 ? × 15.778 ?.
