The twinned structure of ferricenyltrifluoroborate.
Crystals of the title compound, [Fe(C(5)H(5))(C(5)H(4)BF(3))], are monoclinic and twinned. The twinning initially resulted in a misleading unit-cell assignment. The formal oxidation state of Fe is 3+, and the crystal packing consists of intermolecular C--H...F and pi-pi interactions.
