5-Cyclopentadienyl)[
6-diethyl ethyl(phenyl)malonate]iron(II) hexafluoridophosphateAt 223 (2) K, the complexed rings in the iron(II) complex cation of the title salt, [Fe(C5H5)(C15H20O4)]PF6, are almost parallel [dihedral angle between planes = 4.10 (14)°]. Among the C atoms of the complexed arene ring, the quaternary C atom is located at the longest distance from the Fe atom. The F atoms of the PF6- anion were found to be equally disordered over two sites.
The title compound was prepared following the method of Piórko et al. (1989). A crystal used for data collection was grown by slow evaporation of solvents from a solution of the complex in acetone–diethyl ether–dichloromethane mixture at 280 K.
The H atoms were placed in geometrically idealized positions with C—H distances of 0.93 Å (aromatic), 0.96 Å (methyl) and 0.97 Å (methylene) and constrained to ride on the parent C atom with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C) for aromatic and methylene, and Uiso(H) = 1.5Ueq(C) for methyl protons. Then F atoms of the PF6 anion were found to be disordered over two sites and were refined with a 50:50 occupancy. The F atoms were anisotropically refined and F1, F2, F3, F4 and F4' restrained using the ISOR command.

Geometry. All e.s.d.'s 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 > σ(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. |

The title compound, along with other diethyl alkylarylmalonates complexed with a cyclopentadienyliron(II) moiety, were reported as intermediates in the syntheses of alkyl (substituted aryl)malonates (Piórko et al., 1989). The ORTEP drawing of the title compound is shown in Fig. 1. The two aromatic rings are not quite coplanar, with a dihedral angle of 4.10(0.14)° between the plane formed by C11–C16 and C21–C25 which is not significantly different from the value 3.0 (4)° reported for the most similar structure of 1,1-di(2-propenyl)-3-butenylbenzene FeCp complex (Marcén et al., 2002). The Fe ion is located at distances of 1.6661 (9)Å from the Cp and 1.5360 (8)Å from the phenyl ring; such values are typical of those found in the literature for similar complexes (see for example Abboud et al., 1991; Piórko et al., 1994; Marcén et al., 2002; Crane 2003). The distance for Fe1—C11 at 2.1179 (19) Å, where C11 is the quaternary carbon in the phenyl ring, is the longest among the distances Fe to C atoms of this ring. Again, this is in agreement with the literature data for the similar FeCp complexed aromatic C atoms containing alkyl groups (see for example Hanson 1982; Koray et al., 1985; Piórko et al., 1994; Marcén et al., 2002). The PF6- anion shows some rotational disorder, as reported for systems of this kind. A view along a side of the unit cell (Fig. 2) indicates π–π stacking arrangement of the aromatic rings, with a centroid to centroid distance of 3.85 Å. The rings are oriented in a face to face arrangement, and while this almost direct overlap is uncommon for unsubstituted arene rings, the ester functionality on the ring alters the electronics of the system, making it possible for the rings to interact; the functional group on one ring is on the opposite side of that on the next ring.
