title: 1-Ferrocenylmeth-yl-1H-imidazole.
abstract: In the title compound, [Fe(C(5)H(5))(C(9)H(9)N(2))], the distances of the Fe atom from the centroids of the unsubstituted and the substituted cyclo-penta-dienyl (cp) rings are 1.639 (1) and 1.647 (1) Å, respectively. The ferrocenyl unit deviates from an eclipsed geometry with tilted cp rings; the inter-planar angle between the cp and imidazole rings is 114.11 (4)°.
