B. M. Yamin and N. M. Ali

Abstract: The molecular structure of the title compound, [Fe₂(C₅H₅)₂(C₁₂H₁₀N₂)], is centrosymmetric, with bond parameters similar to its analogue [4](1)(1,4-dimethyl-2,3-diazabuta-1,3-diene)ferrocenophane. The cyclopentadienyl rings of the ferrocene moieties are eclipsed and their average dihedral angle with the Schiff base C=N-N=C fragment is 8.5  (4)°.
