(E)-1-Ferrocenyl-3-(2-meth­oxy­phen­yl)prop-2-en-1-one

The structure of the title compound, [Fe(C₅H₅)(C₁₅H₁₃O₂)], consists of a ferrocenyl moiety and a 2-meth­oxy­phenyl group linked through a prop-2-en-1-one spacer in an E conformation. In the ferrocene unit, the substituted cyclo­penta­dienyl (Cps) ring and the unsubstituted cyclo­penta­dienyl ring (Cp) are almost parallel to one another [dihedral angle = 1.78 (14)°], and the Cp and Cps rings are in a gauche conformation. The benzene ring is twisted by 10.02 (14) and 11.38 (11)° with respect to the Cp and Cps rings, respectively. In the crystal, mol­ecules are linked by weak C—H...O hydrogen bonds into supra­molecular chains running along the b-axis direction.
