Abstract

At 296 (2) K, both complexed rings in the iron(II) complex cation of the title salt, [Fe(C(5)H(5))(C(16)H(10)O(2))]PF(6), are almost parallel [dihedral angle between planes = 2.4 (3)°]. The quaternary C atoms of the complexed arene ring are located at the longest distance from the Fe atom, with Fe-C distances of 2.112 (4) and 2.105 (3) Å, which are slightly longer than the average Fe-C distance for this ring (2.083 Å). The Fe ion is located 1.660 (1) and 1.543 (1) Å, respectively, from the cyclo-penta-dienyl and the complexed arene ring.
