title: Azido[1,1'-bis(diphenylphosphino)ferrocene](pentamethylcyclopentadienyl)rhodium(III) hexafluorophosphate.
abstract: In the title compound, azido-2kappaN-bis[micro-(1eta(5):2kappaP)-diphenylphosphinocyclopentadienyl][2(eta(5))-pentamethylcyclopentadienyl]iron(III)rhodium(III) hexafluorophosphate, [[Rh(C(10)H(15))(N(3))][Fe(micro-C(17)H(14)P)(2)]]PF(6) or [FeRh(C(10)H(15))(micro-C(17)H(14)P)(2)(N(3))]PF(6), the coordination sphere of Rh(III) can be described as pseudo-tetrahedral, composed of two P atoms from a 1,1'-bis(diphenylphosphino)ferrocene (dppf) ligand, an azido N atom and the centroid of the ring of a C(5)Me(5) (Cp*) ligand. The two cyclopentadienyl rings in the dppf moiety adopt an eclipsed conformation. The Rh.Fe distance is 4.340 (2) A.
