Dicarbonyl(η5-cyclopentadienyl)(2,3-dibromopropanamine- κN)iron(II) tetrafluoridoborate

Abstract

The title compound, [Fe(η5-C5H 5)(NH2CH2CHBrCH2Br)(CO) 2](BF4) contains an FeII cation with a three-legged piano-stool coordination. The NH2CH 2CHBrCH2Br ligand contains a chiral carbon atom. The Fe - N bond length is 2.011 (3) Å and the Fe - Cp centroid distance is 1.7189 (5) Å. In the crystal, the ions are linked via two N - H⋯F interactions and a weak N - H⋯Br interaction. © 2012 International Union of Crystallography.
