The reaction of diethanolamine with diferrocenylmethyl carbonium (2) that was generated by diferrocenylmethanol (1) treated with BF 3 in CH 2 Cl 2 provided the synthesis of title compound diferrocenylmethoxyethylamine (3). The structure of 3 was determined by the X-ray diffraction (XRD) with crystal data: monoclinic P2 1 /n space group and a = 5.8419 (14) Å, b = 13.572(3) Å, c = 23.839(6) Å, α = 90 • , β = 91.827(5) • , γ = 90 • , V = 1889.2(8) Å 3 , Z = 4, D c = 1.558 mg·m −3 , µ = 1.548 mm −1 , F(000) = 920. The intra-and inter-molecular H bonding modes in 3 were demonstrated both in molecular crystal structure and IR spectral characterization.
