In the molecule of the title compound, [Fe(C5H5)(C17H11ClN3)], the dihedral angles between the two five-membered rings and between the two six-membered rings are 3.28 (4) and 51.33 (4)°, respectively. In the crystal structure, intermolecular N-H
N hydrogen bonds link the molecules into centrosymmetric dimers.
Compound (I) was prepared by the reaction of 4-chlorobenzaldehyde (2 mmol), malononitrile (2 mmol), acetylferrocene (2 mmol) and ammonium acetate (4 mmol) in water (2 ml). Single crystals of (I) suitable for X-ray analysis were obtained by slow evaporation of an aqueous ethanol solution (95%) (yield; 95%, m.p. 548-550 K). IR (cm-1): 3457, 3354, 2211; 1H NMR (DMSO-d6): 4.10 (5H, s, ferrocenyl), 4.50 (2H, s, ferrocenyl), 5.04 (2H, s, ferrocenyl), 6.81 (2H, brs, NH2), 6.95 (1H, s, ArH), 7.64 (2H, d, J = 8.4 Hz, ArH), 7.68 (2H, d, J = 8.4 Hz, ArH).7.87 (2H, brs, NH2), 7.88–8.01 (4H, m, ArH), 11.85 (1H, s, NH).
H atoms were positioned geometrically, with N-H = 0.86 Å (for NH2) and C-H = 0.93 Å for aromatic H,and constrained to ride on their parent atoms with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C,N).

Geometry. All e.s.d.'s (except the e.s.d. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell e.s.d.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of e.s.d.'s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between e.s.d.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell e.s.d.'s is used for estimating e.s.d.'s involving l.s. planes. |
Refinement. Refinement of F2 against ALL reflections. The weighted R-factor wR and goodness of fit S are based on F2, conventional R-factors R are based on F, with F set to zero for negative F2. The threshold expression of F2 > 2sigma(F2) is used only for calculating R-factors(gt) etc. and is not relevant to the choice of reflections for refinement. R-factors based on F2 are statistically about twice as large as those based on F, and R- factors based on ALL data will be even larger. |

Metallocenes are known to exhibit a wide range of biological activity. Among them, ferrocene has attracted special attention since it is neutral, chemically stable, non-toxic and able to cross cell membranes (Dombrowski et al., 1986). In fact, it is now well established that the incorporation of ferrocene units into organic molecules introduces significant and new properties in these materials. In addition, it has been demonstrated that molecules containing cyanopyridine moiety may be able to work as ligands towards transition-metal ions (Alyoubi, 2000), new drugs (Murata et al., 2004; Desai & Shah, 2003) and significant intermediates for the synthesis of important vitamins such as nicotinic acids and nicotinamides. For these reasons, the synthesis of new compounds containing cyanopyridine derivatives is strongly desired. We report herein the crystal structure of the title compound, (I).
In the molecule of (I), (Fig. 1), rings A (N1/C1-C5), B (C17-C22), C (C6-C10) and D (C11-C15) are, of course, planar. The dihedral angles between them are A/B = 51.33 (4)°, A/C = 13.20 (3)°, A/D = 16.32 (4)°, B/C = 46.38 (3)°, B/D= 44.47 (3)° and C/D = 3.28 (4)°. So, rings C and D are nearly paralllel to each other.
In the crystal structure, intermolecular N-H···N hydrogen bonds (Table 1) link the molecules into centrosymmetric dimers (Fig. 2), in which they may be effective in the stabilization of the structure.
