Abstract: In the title compound, [Fe(C₅H₅)(C₁₅H₁₃O₂)], a conjugated substituent group bridges a five-membered ⁵-C₅H₄ ring and a benzene ring. In the ferrocene unit, the substituted (Cps) and unsubstituted (Cp) cyclopentadienyl rings are eclipsed and almost parallel [Cps-Fe-Cps angle = 176.1 (2)°]. The molecule is linked into an S(5) motif via intramolecular C-HO hydrogen bonds. The molecules are arranged into a three-dimensional framework by five intermolecular C-HO hydrogen bonds and one intermolecular C-H(Cps) interaction.
