1,4-diferrocenylbutane-1,4-dione

WOS: 000253792100011PubMed: 21201843In the crystal structure of the title compound, [Fe-2(C5H5)(2)-(C14H12O2)], each carbonyl group is coplanar with the adjacent cyclopentadienyl ring, thus maximizing the pi-orbital overlap and electronic interactions between the groups. In the crystal structure, there are inter-and intramolecular C-H center dot center dot center dot O contacts
