Abstract:
The title compound, [Fe(C5H5)(C10H7O2S)], an important precursor en route to organometallic donor-pi-acceptor systems, forms dimers in the solid state through cyclic intermolecular carboxylic acid O-H...O hydrogen bonds, graph set R2(2)(8) [O...O 2.661 (2) A and O-H...O 175 degrees ]. Intermolecular C(Cp)-H...pi(Cp) interactions between the unsubstituted cyclopentadienyl (Cp) rings and C(thiazole)-H...pi(Cp) interactions link neighbouring molecules into a three-dimensional network [C...Cg 3.753 (7) A and C-H...Cg 156 degrees, and C...Cg 3.687 (3) A and C-H...Cg 129 degrees; Cg is the ring centroid]. Intramolecular C-H...O interactions are present, graph set S(7) [C...O 2.925 (3) A and C-H...O 120 degrees, and the closest C-H...S(thienyl) contact has a C...S distance of 3.058 (2) A].

Spin–Spin Coupling: Three-Bond Coupling (Vicinal Coupling)
The extent of coupling depends on the C‑C bond length, the two H‑C‑C angles, any electron-withdrawing substituents, and the dihedral angle between the involved orbitals. The...
¹H NMR: Long-Range Coupling
In alkenes, spin information is communicated via σ–π overlap, as seen in allylic (four-bond) and homoallylic (five-bond) couplings. These coupling interactions are stronger when the σ bond is parallel to the alkene π orbitals.
