title: 1-[(Z)-2-Cyano-2-(2-pyrid-yl)vin-yl]-ferrocene.
abstract: In the title compound, [Fe(C(5)H(5))(C(13)H(9)N(2))], the dihedral angle between the substituted cyclo-penta-dienyl plane and the plane of the pyridine ring is 8.43 (14)°. The double bond adopts a Z configuration. In the crystal structure, weak C-H⋯N inter-actions link the molecules into a zigzag chain. A weak intramolecular C-H⋯N hydrogen bond is also present.
