Abstract:
The substituted cyclo-penta-dienyl ring in the title mol-ecule, [Fe(C5H5)(C18H13ClN)], is nearly coplanar with the phenyl-1-(4-chloro-phen-yl)methanimine substituent, with dihedral angles between the planes of the phenyl-ene ring and the Cp and 4-(chloro-phen-yl)methanimine units of 7.87 (19) and 9.23 (10)°, respectively. The unsubstituted cyclo-penta-dienyl ring is rotationally disordered, the occupancy ratio for the two orientations refined to a 0.666 (7)/0.334 (7) ratio. In the crystal, the mol-ecules pack in 'bilayers' parallel to the ab plane with the ferrocenyl groups on the outer faces and the substituents directed towards the regions between them. The ferrocenyl groups are linked by C-H⋯π(ring) inter-actions. A Hirshfeld surface analysis of the crystal structure indicates that the most important contributions for the crystal packing are from H⋯H (46.1%), H⋯C/C⋯ H (35.4%) and H⋯Cl/Cl⋯H (13.8%) inter-actions. Thus C-H⋯π(ring) and van der Waals inter-actions are the dominant inter-actions in the crystal packing.

Accordingly, the structure of a trivalent radical lies between the geometries of carbocations and carbanions. An sp2-hybridized carbocation is trigonal planar, while an sp3-hybridized carbanion is trigonal pyramidal. Here, the difference in geometry is...
Crystal Field Theory - Octahedral Complexes
To explain the observed behavior of transition metal complexes (such as colors), a model involving electrostatic interactions between the electrons from the ligands and the electrons in the unhybridized d orbitals of the central metal atom has been developed. This electrostatic model is crystal field theory (CFT). It helps to understand, interpret, and predict the colors, magnetic behavior, and some structures of coordination compounds of transition metals.
CFT focuses on...
