2-Ferrocenyl-6-(3-nitro­phen­yl)quinoline

In the title compound, [Fe(C₅H₅)(C₂₀H₁₃N₂O₂)], the substituted cyclo­penta­dienyl ring and quinoline system are approximately coplanar, making a dihedral angle of 5.18 (6)°, while the dihedral angle between the quinoline system and the benzene ring is 28.45 (8)°. There is high thermal motion in the free cyclo­penta­dienyl ring compared with the substituted cyclo­penta­dienyl ring. The conformation of the two cyclopentadienyl rings in the ferrocenyl moiety is eclipsed.
