title: (1-Naphthyl-imino-meth-yl)ferrocene.
abstract: In the title mol-ecule, [Fe(C(5)H(5))(C(16)H(12)N)], the cyclo-penta-dienyl rings are approximately eclipsed and the inter-planar angle is 0.8 (7)°. The Fe atom is slightly closer to the substituted cyclo-penta-dienyl ring, with an Fe⋯centroid distance of 1.639 (2) Å, compared with 1.645 (2) Å for the unsubstituted ring. The C=N double bond is essentially coplanar with the substituted cyclo-penta-dienyl ring with a deviation of 10.3 (1)°. The angle formed by the C=N double bond and the naphthal-ene ring system is 47.1 (1)°. The C-N=C-C torsion angle is 177.32 (5)°.
