([eta superscript 5]-Cyclopentadienyl)[(1,2,3,4,4a,12a-[eta])-naphtho[2,3-b][1,4]benzodioxine]iron(II) hexafluoridophosphate

Abstract

At 296 (2) K, both complexed rings in the iron(II) complex cation of the title salt, [Fe(C[subscript 5]H[subscript 5])(C[subscript 16]H[subscript 10]O[subscript 2])]PF[subscript 6], are almost parallel [dihedral angle between planes = 2.4 (3)[degrees]]. The quaternary C atoms of the complexed arene ring are located at the longest distance from the Fe atom, with Fe—C distances of 2.112 (4) and 2.105 (3) [Angstrom], which are slightly longer than the average Fe—C distance for this ring (2.083 [Angstrom]). The Fe ion is located 1.660 (1) and 1.543 (1) [Angstrom], respectively, from the cyclopentadienyl and the complexed arene ring.
