Abstract: In the title molecule, [Fe(C₅H₅)(C₁₉H₁₅N₂)], the five-membered C₃N₂ imidazole ring forms dihedral angles of 84.71 (13) and 52.12 (11)°, respectively, with the substituted cyclopentadienyl and phenyl rings. In the crystal structure, in addition to a weak C-HN interaction, there is a modest C-H(ring) interaction involving a C-H group of the unsubstituted cyclopentadienyl ring and the imidazole ring.
