N-Ferrocenymethyl-N-phenyl­propionamide

In the title compound, [Fe(C₅H₅)(C₁₅H₁₆NO)], the two cyclo­penta­dienyl (Cp) rings are nearly parallel to each other, forming a dihedral angle of 3.7 (1)°, and adopt a staggered conformation. The amide group is almost perpendicular to the plane of the substituted Cp ring, with a C—N—C—C torsion angle of 101.3 (2)°, and the N and O atoms in the ethanoyl group are coplanar, with a C—N—C—O torsion angle of −0.7 (3)°. Weak C—H...O hydrogen bonds link adjacent mol­ecules.

N-Ferrocenylmethyl-2-nitro­aniline

In the title compound, [Fe(C₅H₅)(C₁₂H₁₁N₂O₂)], the two cyclo­penta­dienyl (Cp) rings are nearly eclipsed and parallel to each other, the dihedral angle between their mean planes being 2.54 (1)°. One of the Cp rings is substituted by a nitro­benzenamine group, which is essentially perpendicular to the substituted cyclo­penta­dienyl ring, with an N—C(H₂)—C—C torsion angle of 89.8 (2)°. Intra­molecular N—H...O and N—H...N hydrogen bonds occur. In the crystal, weak C—H...O hydrogen bonds link adjacent mol­ecules.
