V. O. Nyamori and M. D. Bala

Abstract: In the title compound, [Fe(C₅H₅)(C₉H₉N₂)], the distances of the Fe atom from the centroids of the unsubstituted and the substituted cyclopentadienyl (cp) rings are 1.639 (1) and 1.647 (1) Å, respectively. The ferrocenyl unit deviates from an eclipsed geometry with tilted cp rings; the interplanar angle between the cp and imidazole rings is 114.11 (4)°.
