Abstract

The mol-ecular structure of the title compound, [Fe(C(5)H(5))(C(13)H(4)F(5))], consists of a ferrocenyl group and a 2,3,4,5,6-penta-fluoro-benzene group linked through an ethyne spacer. The crystal packing is dominated by inter-molecular C-H⋯F hydrogen bonds, C-F⋯π inter-actions between the penta-fluoro-benzene groups [F⋯centroid distances = 3.882 (2) and 3.884 (2) Å] and π-π inter-actions between the penta-fluoro-benzene and cyclo-penta-dienyl rings [centroid-centroid distance = 3.741 (1) Å].
