α-Ferrocenyl-N-(1-phenyl­ethyl)benzyl­amine

The title compound, [Fe(C₅H₅)(C₂₀H₂₀N)], possesses normal geometrical parameters. A network of C—H...π inter­actions, one of which is bifurcated, helps to consolidate the crystal packing.

1-Ferrocenyl-N-(1-phenyl­ethyl)ethyl­amine

The title compound, [Fe(C₅H₅)(C₁₅H₁₈N)], has been synthesized as a prochiral agent by refluxing equimolar mixtures of acetyl­ferrocene and 1-phenyl­ethyl­amine followed by reduction with sodium borohydride. The crystal structure exhibits normal geometrical parameters. The C-N-C angle is 118.6 (4)° due to the steric effect of the benzene ring and the substituted ferrocene ring.
