title: 2-(4-Ferrocenylphen-yl)-4,4,5,5-tetra-methyl-1,3,2-dioxaborolane.
abstract: In the title compound,, [Fe(C(5)H(5))(C(17)H(20)BO(2))], the two near parallel cyclo-penta-dienyl rings of the ferrocene group are eclipsed. The benzene ring is tilted with respect to the attached cyclo-penta-diene ring by 17.0 (1)° and by 24.2 (1)° with respect to the dioxaborolane ring. The mol-ecules assemble in the crystal via C-H⋯π inter-actions between the cyclo-penta-dienyl H atoms and the benzene and cyclo-penta-dienyl rings of neighbouring mol-ecules.
