2-(4-Ferrocenylphenyl)-4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-1,3,2-dioxaborolane

P. D. W. Boyd and J. D. Paauwe

Abstract: In the title compound,, [Fe(C₅H₅)(C₁₇H₂₀BO₂)], the two near parallel cyclopentadienyl rings of the ferrocene group are eclipsed. The benzene ring is tilted with respect to the attached cyclopentadiene ring by 17.0 (1)° and by 24.2 (1)° with respect to the dioxaborolane ring. The molecules assemble in the crystal via C-H interactions between the cyclopentadienyl H atoms and the benzene and cyclopentadienyl rings of neighbouring molecules.
