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
