Crystal structure of 4-(1H-imidazol-1-yl)-6-pyrimidinylferrocene, C₁₇H₁₄FeN₄

Abstract

C17H14FeN4, monoclinic, P21/c, a = 11.8213(11) Å, b = 10.3610(10) Å, c = 11.8552(11) Å, CCDC no.: 1435105 Source of materialThe title compound was obtained from the reaction of 4-chloro-6-pyrimidinylferrocene [1] and 1H-imidazole as described in literature [2] and recrystallized from a dichloromethane / petroleum ether solution at room temperature to give crystals suitable for single-crystal X-ray di raction. Experimental detailsAll hydrogen atoms were included using a riding model. DiscussionSince the discovery of ferrocene in 1951 [3], the fascinating structural properties of its derivatives has been the subject of
