Imidazole(148 mg, 2.17 mmol) was added to acetone (2.0 cm3) and the solution was stirred. Potassium hydroxide powder (128 mg, 2.27 mmol) was then introducedand allowed to dissolve, forming a homogenous solution. The solution was stirred for about 30 minutes and then 6-bromohexylferrocene (834 mg, 2.39 mmol) in acetone (1.0 cm3) was introduced to the solution dropwise and allowed to stir for about 1 hour at room temperature. The solution was then filtered and concentrated. The crude product was passed through a column of silica gel. Diethyl ether recovered unreacted 6-bromohexylferrocene (150 mg)while ethyl acetate/methanol (10:1) afforded the product as yellow crystals (591 mg, 81 %); mp 68-70°C;IR (KBr cm-1) 3090, 2932, 2859, 1655, 1508, 1466, 1439, 1234, 1107,1076, 999, 829, 802, 745, 671, 509, 486; 1H NMR (CDCl3)7.47 (1H, s, NCH), 7.07 (1H, s, NCH), 6.91 (1H, s, NCH), 4.09 (5H, s, C5H5),4.04 (4H, m, C5H4), 3.91 (2H, t, J 7.1, CH2), 2.31 (2H, t, J 7.3, CH2), 1.77 (2H, m, CH2), 1.48 (2H,m, CH2), 1.31 (4H, m, 2 x CH2); 13C NMR (CDCl3)137.48, 129.76, 119.22, 89.45, 68.87, 68.45, 67.48, 47.42, 31.44, 31.37, 29.89,29.35, 26.83; m/z (EI) 337 (M++1, 14%), 336 (M+, 61%),272 (19), 271 (100), 269 (10), 199 (9), 121 (26); Anal.

Geometry. All esds (except the esd in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell esds are taken into account individually in the estimation of esds in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between esds in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell esds is used for estimating esds 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 (I) was prepared as part of our study into the development of imidazole based ionic liquids and precursors to N-heterocyclic carbene ligands bearing a ferrocenyl functionality. Related compounds bearing structural similarities to (I) have been communicated by Hua et al. (2004) and Nyamori & Bala (2008). The compound (I) shows a fairly linear alkyl carbon-carbon bond linkage of the ferrocenyl moiety with the imidazole. This is evident from the torsion angles; C10—C11—C12—C13 = -178.3 (3)°, C12—C13—C14—C15 = -177.4 (3)° and C13—C14—C15—C16 = 178.3 (3)°. The average bond distances between the carbon atoms (C11 to C15) is 1.5375 (Å) which is normal for saturated alkyl carbon-carbon bonds. The bond distance between C16—N1 is 1.450 (4) Å as expected. The imidazole ring slightly deviates from planarity as indicated by the torsion angles; N1—C19—N2—C18 = -1.3 (4)° and C17—C18—N2—C19 = 1.2 (4)°. The bond length between C19—N2 is 1.312 (4) Å which is a clear indication of a localized carbon-carbon double bond while those of C18—N2 = 1.379 (4) Å, C17—C18 = 1.361 (5) Å and C17—N1 = 1.365 (4) Å are longer and indicate delocalization of π electrons. This implies that aromaticity of the imidazole ring is also reduced. The torsion angles within the atoms of the ferrocenyl rings indicate that the rings are fairly planar. The two ferrocenyl rings also show a marginal tilt towards each other with an angle of 2.17°. The average bond distance of substituted ferrocenyl ring carbon atoms and the metal centre (Fe1) is found to be 2.039 (3) Å while that of the unsubstituted ferrocenyl ring is obtained as 2.027 (3) Å. A value of 114.0 (3)° is observed for the N1—C16—C15 angle. The dihedral angle between the substituted ferrocenyl ring and the imidazole is found to be 122.6 (1)°. These observations confirm that the molecule is kinked and this, in turn, affects the molecular packing of the molecules which are held together by weak C—H···N interactions with a contact distance of about 2.583 Å.
