N-Ferrocenylmethyl-2-nitroaniline

In the title compound, [Fe(C(5)H(5))(C(12)H(11)N(2)O(2))], the two cyclo-penta-dienyl (Cp) rings are nearly eclipsed and parallel to each other, the dihedral angle between their mean planes being 2.54 (1)°. One of the Cp rings is substituted by a nitro-benzenamine group, which is essentially perpendicular to the substituted cyclo-penta-dienyl ring, with an N-C(H(2))-C-C torsion angle of 89.8 (2)°. Intra-molecular N-H⋯O and N-H⋯N hydrogen bonds occur. In the crystal, weak C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds link adjacent mol-ecules.
