[η6-1-Chloro-2-(pyrrolidin-1-yl)benzene](η5-cyclopentadienyl)iron(II) hexafluoridophosphate and (η5-cyclopentadienyl){2-[η6-2-(pyrrolidin-1-yl)phenyl]phenol}iron(II) hexafluoridophosphate

Abstract

In the complex salt [η(6)-1-chloro-2-(pyrrolidin-1-yl)benzene](η(5)-cyclopentadienyl)iron(II) hexafluoridophosphate, [Fe(C(5)H(5))(C(10)H(12)ClN)]PF(6), (I), the complexed cyclopentadienyl and benzene rings are almost parallel, with a dihedral angle between their planes of 2.3 (3)°. In a related complex salt, (η(5)-cyclopentadienyl){2-[η(6)-2-(pyrrolidin-1-yl)phenyl]phenol}iron(II) hexafluoridophosphate, [Fe(C(5)H(5))(C(16)H(17)NO)]PF(6), (II), the analogous angle is 5.4 (1)°. In both complexes, the aromatic C atom bound to the pyrrolidine N atom is located out of the plane defined by the remaining five ring C atoms. The dihedral angles between the plane of these five ring atoms and a plane defined by the N-bound aromatic C atom and two neighboring C atoms are 9.7 (8) and 5.6 (2)° for (I) and (II), respectively.
