G. Ferguson et al., HYDROGEN-BONDING IN FERROCENE DERIVATIVES - CRYSTAL-STRUCTURE OF RACEMIC FERROCENYL(PHENYL)METHANOL, Journal of organometallic chemistry, 464(1), 1994, pp. 95-101
A single-crystal X-ray diffraction study has been carried out on racem
ic ferrocenyl(phenyl)methanol. There are two independent chiral molecu
les A and B in the asymmetric unit, and the molecules are linked by OH
...O hydrogen bonds into zigzag chains characterized by the motif -S(A
)-R(B)-R(A)-S(B)-; within these chains the two independent hydrogen-bo
nded O...O distances are 3.059(2) and 3.150(2) Angstrom.
