Abstract
In the structure of bis[(3a,4,5,6,6a-eta))- 1-hydropentalenyl]iron, [F e(C8H7)(2)], the two pentalene ligands are parallel. The molecules are packed in chains along the a axis and there are no significant interm olecular interactions, The compound shows disorder at the iron positio n with a 93.3% major and a 6.7% minor component, The structure of the predominant component has been determined. In addition, the double bon d in one pentalene ligand is disordered. This confirms the results of a previous spectroscopic H-1 NMR study.
