metal-organic compounds
The title compound, [Fe(C5H5)(C28H23N2O2)], contains a 1,8-naphthalimide system, substituted in the 4-position with an N-bound piperidine ring. The imide N atom of the naphthalimide group carries a 4-ferrocenylphenyl substituent. The compound crystallizes with the plane of the naphthalimide moiety orthogonal to those of the benzene and cyclopentadiene rings, which facilitates intermolecular π stacking interactions between adjacent pairs of naphthalimide rings.
