(Received 30 September 2010; accepted 23 October 2010; online 6 November 2010)

In the title compound, [Fe(C₂₃H₂₃NO₄)], the two cyclopentadienyl (Cp) rings are nearly parallel, with a dihedral angle of 2.1 (1)°. The distance between the centroids of the Cp rings is 3.277 (8) Å. The relative orientation of the two Cp rings is characterized by a torsion angle of −64.3 (3)° defined by the two centroids and two substituted atoms.

Comment top

Ferrocenophanes, in which the two cyclopentadienyl (Cp) rings are joined by an atomic or molecular bridge (Otón et al., 2005), are found to be aromatic, highly stable and generally non-toxic, and have reversible redox characteristics (Mizuta et al., 2003). In particular, ferrocenophanes are useful precursors to poly-ferrocenyl materials (Kulbaba & Manners, 2001; Nguyen et al., 1999) and act as potential receptor towards cation or anion recognition (Cayuela et al., 2004; Lu et al., 2006; Suzaki et al., 2006; Otón et al., 2006a,b). As a part of our ongoing investigation of ferrocenophanes, the title compound has been prepared and we report here its crystal structure. Despite of the fact that structually characterized ferrocenophanes are well presented in the Cambridge Structural Database (Allen, 2002; Version 5.27, release February 2009), there is only one analogous compound structurally characterized (Gao et al., 2009). From this viewpoint, X-ray single-crystal study of the title compound presents a certain descriptive interest.

The structure of the title compound is show in Fig. 1. The two Cp rings are nearly parallel, making a dihedral angle of 2.1 (1)°. The distance between the centroids of the Cp rings is 3.277 (8) Å. The angle formed between the two centroids and Fe1 is 177.67 (16)°. The relative orientation of the two Cp rings is characterized by the C10—Cg1—Cg2—C13 torsion angle of -64.3 (3)° (Cg1 and Cg2 are the centroids of C14–C18 ring and C19–C23 ring, respectively). The Fe—C distances range from 2.005 (3) to 2.045 (4) Å. The exocyclic bond lengths C13—C19 and C10—C14 are 1.453 (4) and 1.467 (5) Å, respectively.

Experimental top

2,2'-(p-Tolylazanediyl)diethanol was prepared as described by Shivarkar et al. (2008). 1,1'-Ferrocenedi(carbonyl chloride) was prepared as described by Abd-Alla et al. (1993). For the preparation of ferrocenophane, a mixture of 1,1'-ferrocenedi(carbonyl chloride) (2 g, 0.006 mol), dry dichloromethane (500 ml) and pyridine (1 ml, 0.012 mol) was stirred in dark. To this solution 2,2'-(p-tolylazanediyl)diethanol (0.006 mol) in dichloromethane was added dropwise over 1 h. The mixture was stirred for 24 h and then refluxed for another 8 h (monitored by TLC). The solvent was removed under atmospheric pressure. The residue was then purified by column chromatography on silica gel, eluting with ethyl acetate/petroleum ether (1:2) (yield: 38%). Melting point and NMR spectra confirmed identity and purity of the prepared compound.

Dark-red crystals of the title compound were obtained by slow concentration of a dichloromethane solution at room temperature.
