title: (Z)-3-Ferrocenyl-2-(4-pyridyl)-propene-nitrile.
abstract: In the title compound, [Fe(C(5)H(5))(C(13)H(9)N(2))], the pyridine ring makes a dihedral angle of 9.91 (17)° with the substituted cyclo-penta-dienyl ring and the double bond adopts a Z configuration. In the crystal structure, inter-molecular C-H⋯N hydrogen bonds link the molecules into a one-dimensional chain in the a+c direction.
