title: 1-(6-Ferrocenylhex-yl)-1H-imidazole.
abstract: The title compound, [Fe(C(5)H(5))(C(14)H(19)N(2))], is characterized by a ferrocenyl group separated from an imidazole functionality by a straight-chain hexyl unit. The two cyclo-penta-dienyl rings of the ferrocenyl group show a marginal inward tilt of 2.17 (2)°. The imidazole unit, which is essentially planar (with a maximum deviation of 0.007 A for one of the N atoms) and tilted away from the ferrocenyl group [dihedral angle between the substituted ferrocenyl ring and the imidazole = 122.6 (1)°], is involved in inter-molecular C-H⋯N inter-actions.
