Crystal structure of (ferrocenylmethyl)dimethylammonium hydrogen oxalate

The crystal structure of the title salt, [Fe(C5H5)(C8H13N)](HC2O4), consists of discrete (ferrocenylmethyl)dimethylammonium cations and hydrogen oxalate anions. The anions are connected through a strong O—H...O hydrogen bond, forming linear chains running parallel to [100]. The cations are linked to the anions through bifurcated N—H...(O,O′) hydrogen bonds. Weak C—H...π interactions between neighbouring ferrocenyl moieties are also observed
