The structure of diferrocenyl ketone, [Fe2(C5H5)2(C11H8O)], was redetermined as part of our investigations of carbon-iron hyperconjugation. The title ketone lies on a twofold axis of symmetry. Lengthening of the carbonyl C=O bond [1.237 (3) Å compared with that expected for simple ketones, 1.210 Å] and slight slippage of the Fe atom towards the carbonyl carbon are consistent with the presence of strong hyperconjugation of the carbonyl group with the adjacent Fe-C bond. The structure was determined at 130 K.

General Notes

ABSTM_02 When printed, the submitted absorption T values will be replaced by the scaled T values. Since the ratio of scaled T's is identical to the ratio of reported T values, the scaling does not imply a change to the absorption corrections used in the study. Ratio of Tmax expected/reported 0.829 Tmax scaled 0.829 Tmin scaled 0.713

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.
