[6-(Hy-droxy-meth-yl)pyridin-2-yl]methyl ferrocene-1-carboxyl-ate.
The crystal structure of the title ferrocene derivative, [Fe(C(5)H(5))(C(13)H(12)NO(3))], shows strong inter-molecular O-H⋯N hydrogen bonds between the alcohol function and the pyridine group of a neighbouring mol-ecule, while the pyridine function forms another hydrogen bond with the alcohol function of another neighbouring mol-ecule, resulting in the formation of chains along the a-axis direction.
