Abstract:
The mol-ecular structure of the title compound, [Fe(C(5)H(5))(C(13)H(9)N(2))], (I), is analogous to that of the compound (Z)-3-ferrocenyl-2-phenyl-acrylonitrile [Cao & Ye (2008). Acta Cryst. E64, m822], (II), with the pyridine ring in (I) replacing the benzene ring in (II). While the corresponding bond distances and angles in the two compounds show no significant differences, the two dihedral angles between the planes through the acrylonitrile group and the two rings attached to it (substituted Cp and pyridine) of 16.8 (4) and 20.1 (4)° in (I) are different from the corresponding dihedral angles [19.6 (3) and 6.5 (4)°] in (II). The unsubstituted ring is disordered over two positions, with site-occupancy factors of 0.70 (1) and 0.30 (1). The major and minor components of the disordered ring are almost coplanar and are also parallel to the substituted cyclo-penta-diene ring plane, with a dihedral angle of 0.3 (6)°.

Structures of Carboxylic Acid Derivatives
Carboxylic acid derivatives contain an acyl group attached to a heteroatom such as chlorine, oxygen, or nitrogen. The carbonyl carbon and oxygen are both sp2-hybridized with an unhybridized p orbital.
The three sp2 orbitals of the carbonyl carbon form three σ bonds, one each with the carbonyl oxygen, the α carbon, and the heteroatom, whereas the other two sp2 orbitals of the carbonyl oxygen are occupied by the lone pairs. Further, the unhybridized p...
