For the synthesis of (I), ferrocenyl methyl amine (0.50 g, 2.3 mmol) was added to a solution of 9-anthracene carboxylic acid (0.56 g, 2.5 mmol), 1-hydroxybenzotriazole (0.38 g, 2.7 mmol) and 1,3-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide (0.55 g, 2.5 mmol) in CH2Cl2 (40 ml) at 273 K and stirred for 30 min. The reaction mixture was warmed to room temperature and stirred for a further 48 h. The precipitated N,N'-dicyclohexylcarbourea was removed by filtration and the residue was washed with CH2Cl2, with the solvent volume reduced in vacuo. The mixture was purified on a silica-gel column using a mobile phase of hexane:ethyl acetate (2:1). Recrystallization from methanol furnished (I) as orange needles (0.447 g, 48%). The UV–Vis transition is at 435 nm at a concentration of 1.01 mg ml−1 in CHCl3. IR (KBr, νC═O cm−1): 161; 1H NMR (400 MHz, d6 DMSO): δ 4.19–4.20, 4.26, 4.36–4.37, 4.43–4.44, 7.54–7.58, 7.94–7.96, 8.12–8.15, 8.66, 9.12; 13C NMR (100 MHz, d6 DMSO): δ 38.75, 67.83, 68.44, 68.82, 86.33, 125.56, 125.93, 126.68, 127.46, 127.63, 128.76, 131.04, 133.61, 168.23. M.p. (uncorrected) 477–479 K.
Compound (I) crystallized in the monoclinic system; space group P21/a was assigned from the systematic absences and confirmed by the analysis. H atoms attached to C atoms were treated as riding, using SHELXL97 (Sheldrick, 1997) defaults, and the H atom attached to the N atom was refined with isotropic displacement parameters [N—H = 0.82 (3) Å].

Applications of novel redox-active ligands in diverse research fields, such as medicinal chemistry and materials science, have recently engaged scientists. Ferrocene continues to attract much interest as an electroactive group, with potential applications ranging from sensors to new optical materials to liquid crystals (Chesney et al., 1998; Zakaria et al., 2002; Gallagher et al., 1999; Kraatz et al., 1999; Hudson et al., 2001a,b; Seo et al., 2001). Our interest in ferrocene stems from its potential use in both novel sensors and biological systems. We have previously reported the crystal structures of three para-(ferrocenyl)benzoyl esters (Savage et al., 2002; Anderson et al., 2003), and the structure of N9-(ferrocenylmethyl)-9-anthracenecarboxamide, (I), is reported here. Selected geometric parameters are presented in Table 1, with hydrogen-bond and contact data in Table 2; the molecular and crystal structure are depicted in Figs. 1–3.
In (I), the ferrocenyl (Fc) group [Fc = (C5H5)Fe(C5H4)] is normal, with Fe1···Cg1/Cg2 distances of 1.6498 (10) and 1.6539 (11) Å, and a Cg1···Fe1···Cg2 angle of 178.51 (6)° (Cg1 and Cg2 are the ring centroids for the substituted and unsubstituted rings, respectively). The Fe1—C bond lengths for the substituted η5(C5H4) cyclopentadienyl ring are in the range 2.045 (2)–2.047 (2) Å and those in the unsubstituted η5(C5H5) ring are similar [2.034 (2)–2.060 (2) Å]; the C—C bond-length ranges are tight, viz. 1.414 (3)–1.428 (3) and 1.417 (3)–1.421 (4) Å for the η5(C5H4) and η5(C5H5) rings, respectively. The C atoms of the η5(C5) rings are essentially eclipsed, with the five C1n···Cg1···Cg2···C2n angles (n = 1–5) ranging from 0.2 (2)° (for the C14/C24 pair) to 0.57 (19)° (for the C13/C23 pair). The C2—C11—Fe1 angle is 126.92 (15)°, which is similar to the mean value (127.2°) for Fe—C—CH2 angles in the Cambridge Structural Database (CSD version of July 2003, update 5.24; Allen, 2002) (from 616 'hits' with coordinates and no disorder for Fe—CH2).
Two torsion angles describe the overall molecular geometry in (I); viz. the N1—C2—C11—C12 and N1—C1—C31—C32 angles are 79.6 (3) and 115.4 (2)°, such that the three major components in (I), i.e. the ferrocenyl, amide and anthracenyl groups, are all approximately orthogonal to one another (Fig. 1). The interplanar angle between the η5(C5H4) ring and the anthracenyl group is 88.45 (8)° (Fig. 1). The rings in the anthracene group are coplanar with the two external rings, at angles of 1.01 (9) and 1.95 (9)° to the central {C31–C36} ring. In the C14 system, the bond lengths can be arranged in specific groupings, with four from 1.353 (3) to 1.365 (3) Å (a in the scheme), four from 1.390 (3) to 1.412 (3) Å (b) and eight from 1.414 (3) to 1.441 (3) Å [mean 1.428 (3) Å] (c). These bond lengths correspond to the anthracenyl system as depicted in our scheme and are similar to those found in related anthracene-9-carboxamide structures in the CSD [e.g. CSD refcodes CABGAO (Adams et al., 2001) and MEYYOE (Kohmoto et al., 2001)].
The primary intermolecular interaction is the amide···amide interaction along the a axis [N···Oi = 2.910 (2) Å; symmetry code (i) x − 1/2, −y + 1/2, z; Table 2] [graph set C(4); Bernstein et al., 1995]. In tandem with the N—H···O=C hydrogen bond, a C—H···π(arene) interaction [C2—H2A···π(C31–C36)i, with C2···Cg3i = 3.573 (2) Å] generates an R22(8) ring, with the two donors on one molecule and two acceptors on the other (Figs. 2 and 3). The C15/H15 moiety also forms a C—H···π(arene) contact with the anthracene group [H15···Cg5 = 3.04 Å, some 0.4 Å longer than the C2···π(arene centroid) distance]. However, this contact is directed towards atom C40 atom [H15···C40i = 2.80 Å and C15—H15···C40i = 164°]. The C25/H25 group is involved in a similar contact with atom C37 [H25···C37 = 2.87 Å and C25—H25···C37i = 149°]. A second type of R22(8) ring can be considered to form from two C—H···π(arene) interactions involving atoms C2 and C15. A similar arrangement has been observed previously in the crystal structure of 2,4,6-tris(1'-Phenylthio-1-ferrocenyl)boroxin [CSD refcode BOQQAZ; Hua et al., 2001), in which a ferrocenyl group forms two contacts with a neighbouring C6 aromatic ring, with (cp)H···C6 distances of 2.78 and 2.87 Å and C—H···C angles of 164 and 160° (the two C6 atoms are para-related; cp is the cyclopentadienyl ring). In the structure of OBEWOH (Knoesen et al., 2001), the (cp)H···C distances are 2.73 and 2.81 Å, and the C—H···C angles are 161 and 147°; in PALZOR, bis(2-Ferrocenylmethyleneamino)benzenethiolato-S)- mercury(II), the relevant data are 2.84 and 2.71 Å, and 152 and 163° (Kawamoto & Kushi, 1992). Similar C—H···C contacts have been reported in ethynyl steroids (Lutz et al., 1998). A C—H···O hydrogen bond involving atoms C44 and O1ii completes the intermolecular interactions [symmetry code: (ii) −x + 1/2,y − 1/2,-z].
Examination of the structure with PLATON (Spek, 2002) showed that there were four niches, ?each with a volume of 17 Å3, but these are too small to contain even a water molecule (40 Å3).
The majority of ferrocene derivatives in the CSD that contain an amide group have the ferrocenyl group bonded directly to the amide functionality (usually derived from ferrocene carboxylic acid or acyl chloride reacted with an amino derivative). The combination of Fc and CH2NHCO moieties is unusual, a nd currently seven examples are available in the CSD. These include FAMFER (Hall & Brown, 1971), PULDUV (Gale et al., 1998), OHEPUM (Denuault et al., 2002), XULRIF (Laurent et al., 2002), XUZSIU and XUZSUG (Coles et al., 2003). By comparison, there are ten 'hits' for the Fc/NH/CO moiety and 79 'hits' for the Fc/CO/NH moiety. This result can be attributed to the difficulty of obtaining aminoferrocene as a starting a material and also the frequency with which ferrocene carboxylic acid or the acyl chloride are used in condensation reactions with amino derivatives.
