Dicarbon-yl(hexa-methyl-ene-1,3,5,7-tetra-mine-κN(1))(η(5)-penta-methyl-cyclo-penta-dien-yl)iron(II) tetra-fluoridoborate.
In the title compound, [Fe(C(10)H(15))(C(6)H(12)N(4))(CO)(2)]BF(4), the arrangement around the Fe(II) atom corresponds to a three-legged piano stool. The penta-methyl-cyclo-penta-dienyl (Cp*) ligand occupies three coordination sites, while two CO ligands and one N atom of the hexa-methyl-ene-tetra-mine ligand occupy the remaining coordination sites, completing a pseudo-octahedral geometry. Both the complex cation and the BF(4) (-) anion reside on crystallographic mirror planes. The Fe-N bond length is 2.069 (2) and the Fe-Cp*(centroid) distance is 1.7452 (3) Å.
