Description
Summary:The title ferrocene derivative, [Fe(C5H5)(C14H13FNO)], crystallizes in the same space group with similar unit-cell parameters as the derivatives 3-anilino-1-ferrocenylpropan-1-one [Leka et al. (2012). Acta Cryst. E68, m229] and 1-ferrocenyl-3-(4-methylanilino)propan-1-one [Leka et al. (2012). Acta Cryst. E68, m230]. The dihedral angle between the best planes of the benzene ring and the substituted cyclopentadienyl ring is 83.4 (1)°. The presence of the electronegative fluoro substituent in the meta position of the aniline group does not alter the crystal packing compared to the other two derivatives. The molecules are connected into centrosymmetric dimers via N—H...O hydrogen bonds. In addition, C—H...O and C—H...N contacts stabilize the crystal packing.
