Arene-perfluoroarene interactions in crystal engineering. XV. Ferrocene-decafluorobiphenyl (1/1).

Abstract

The title crystal, [Fe(C5H5)2]·C12F10, comprises infinite chains of alternating component mol­ecules, linked through face-to-face contacts of nearly parallel cyclo­penta­dienyl and penta­fluoro­phenyl rings. The deca­fluoro­biphenyl mol­ecule has a crystallographic twofold axis and the Fe atom of the ferrocene mol­ecule is on a crystallographic inversion centre, with both cyclo­penta­dienyl rings disordered.
