(2E,6E)-2,6-Bis(ferrocenyl­methyl­idene)cyclo­hexa­none dichloro­methane monosolvate

In the title compound, [Fe₂(C₅H₅)₂(C₁₈H₁₆O)]·CH₂Cl₂, the C=C bonds both adopt E conformations. In one ferrocenyl group, the five-membered rings are in a near-eclipsed conformation, whereas in the other they are mutually rotated by ca 21.5°. The central cyclo­hexa­none ring adopts a sofa conformation. In the crystal, the dichloro­methane solvent moleucle forms C—H...O hydrogen bonds to the organometallic mol­ecules to generate [010] chains of alternating solvent and organometallic species.
