The title compound, [Fe(C5H5)(C8H7O)], is produced by the reaction of ferrocene with 1,1,3,3-tetra­methoxy­propane. It crystallizes in the noncentrosymmetric space group P212121. The α,β-unsaturated aldehyde moiety adopts an s-trans configuration. The crystal structure is stabilized by inter­molecular C—H...O interactions.

Alert level A PLAT027_ALERT_3_A _diffrn_reflns_theta_full (too) Low ............ 23.29 Deg.
Author Response: Unfortunately, it is not possible to solve the problem regarding the resolution of the dataset. The analysis has been undertaken some time ago with a version of DENZO that was not able to measure at higher angles. So although the data were only recorded up to 23.26 degrees in theta, more than 90 percent of the measured reflections have I > 2 sigma, which leads to a satisfactory data parameter ratio. I would be very pleased if it was possible to accept the structure for publication in Acta Cryst. E despite the fact, that the resolution formally does not reach the standards of the journal.
PLAT035_ALERT_1_A No _chemical_absolute_configuration info given .          ?
Author Response: Although the compound crysallizes in a chiral space group, the compound itself is achiral. So no absolute configuration of the molecule can be determined.

Special details top

Geometry. All e.s.d.'s (except the e.s.d. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell e.s.d.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of e.s.d.'s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between e.s.d.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell e.s.d.'s is used for estimating e.s.d.'s 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.
