title: (E)-N-(Ferrocenyl-methyl-idene)(pyridin-3-yl)methanamine.
abstract: In the title compound, [Fe(C(5)H(5))(C(12)H(11)N(2))], the cyclo-penta-dienyl rings are present in an eclipsed conformation. The imine is E-configured. In the crystal, C-H⋯N inter-actions involving both N atoms connect the mol-ecules into two undulating sheets perpendicular to the b axis. The centroid-centroid distance between the two aromatic systems in the ferrocenyl moiety is 3.2928 (18) Å. A C-H⋯π inter-action is also present.
