N'-Ferrocenyl-2-hydroxybenzohydrazide

Y. Xu, C.-L. Chen, J. Zhou and M.-X. Li

Abstract: The title complex, [Fe(C₅H₅)(C₁₃H₁₁N₂O₃)], was prepared via self-assembly using ferrocenyl hydrazide and ethyl salicylate. The compound is potentially a tridentate ferrocene-based ligand. The conformation of the molecule allows the formation of an intramolecular N-HO hydrogen bond involving the hydroxyl group. The CONHNHCO unit and the rings bonded to it are nearly coplanar. The crystal structure is stabilized by intermolecular O-HO(carbonyl) and N-HO(carbonyl) hydrogen bonds.
