Notes:
The crystal structure of (1,1′-ferrocenediyl)diphenylsilane has been determined from analysis of photographic X-ray data. The crystal system is orthorhombic, a = 14.18(2), b = 12.54(2), c = 9.28(1) Å, space group Pnma with four formula units. The molecule has crystallographic m (Cs) symmetry with atoms Fe and Si lying in the mirror plane, which bisects the two phenyl groups. The planar cyclopentadienyl rings are bridged by a single silicon atom, and are tilted 19.2° with respect to one another. The Fe - C(Cp) distances vary from 2.01(1) to 2.11(1) Å. The bridging angle C(1) - Si - C(1′) is 99.1°, while the Si - C(sp2) bond lengths range from 1.86 to 1.88 Å. The exocyclic C(1) - Si bond makes an angle of 40° with respect to the plane of the cyclopentadienyl ring.
