title: 1-(4-Bromo-phen-yl)ferrocene.
abstract: In the title compound, [Fe(C(5)H(5))(C(11)H(8)Br)], the distance of the Fe atom from the centroids of the unsubstituted and substituted cyclo-penta-dienyl (Cp) rings is 1.644 (1) and 1.643 (1) Å, respectively. The ferrocenyl moiety deviates from an eclipsed geometry, with marginally tilted Cp rings and an inter-planar angle between the Cp and benzene rings of 13.0 (4)°. The crystal structure is stabilized by C-H⋯π inter-actions between a cyclo-penta-dienyl H atom and the cyclo-penta-dienyl ring of a neighbouring mol-ecule.
