P. D. W. Boyd and A. Hosseini

Abstract: The title compound is a five-coordinate square-pyramidal zinc-porphyrin complex, [(C₄₄H₂₈N₄)Zn(C₁₀H₉N₂O)Fe(C₅H₅)]·1.5C₇H₈, with a 4-(ferrocene-1-carboxamido)pyridine apical ligand. The complexes assemble in the crystal structure by head-to-tail stacking of the 4-(ferrocene-1-carboxamido)pyridine groups, which interact through - stacking of the pyridine and cyclopentadienyl rings.
