Abstract:
The title compound, (C(5)H(12)N)[Fe(C(5)H(5))(C(8)H(7)NO(3))], resulting from neutralization of N-(ferrocenylcarbon-yl)glycine with piperidine, is built up from discrete ions that assemble into sheets via the combination of conventional and weak hydrogen bonds. The key repeating unit is constituted by two piperidium cations and two carboxylate anions that assemble into a centrosymmetric array via conventional and bifurcated N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds. The aggregates thus formed are further interlinked by N-H⋯O interactions and supportive C-H⋯O contacts into layers oriented parallel to the bc plane.
