Abstract: In the adduct ferrocene-1,1'-diylbis(diphenylmethanol)-1,2-bis(4-pyridyl)ethene (1/1), [Fe(C₁₈H₁₅O)₂]·C₁₂H₁₀N₂, there is an intramolecular O-HO hydrogen bond in the ferrocenediol component and a single O-HN hydrogen bond linking the diol to the diamine, which is disordered over two sets of sites, so forming a finite monomeric adduct. In the adduct ferrocene-1,1'-diylbis(diphenylmethanol)-1,6-diaminohexane (2/1), 2[Fe(C₁₈H₁₅O)₂]·C₆H₁₆N₂, the amine lies across a centre of inversion in space group P $\overline 1$ . There is an intramolecular O-HO hydrogen bond in the ferrocenediol, and the molecular components are linked by O-HN and N-HO hydrogen bonds, one of each type, into a C(13)[R(12)] chain of rings.

Formula: [Fe(C₁₈H₁₅O)₂]·C₁₂H₁₀N₂ and 2[Fe(C₁₈H₁₅O)₂]·C₆H₁₆N₂
