title: N-(Quinolin-8-yl)ferrocene-1-carbox-amide.
abstract: In the title compound, [Fe(C(5)H(5))(C(15)H(11)N(2)O)], the cyclo-penta-dienyl rings are essentially eclipsed, and the dihedral angle between the cyclo-penta-dienyl ring planes is 0.632 (10)°. The Fe atom is slightly closer to the substituted cyclo-penta-dienyl ring, with an Fe-centroid distance of 1.6374 (3) Å [1.6494 (3) Å for the unsubstituted ring]. The amide group is essentially coplanar with the substituted cyclo-penta-dienyl ring, with an N-C(O)-C-C torsion angle of 2.3 (3)°.
