Abstract
In Cp*Fe(CO)2(n-C3H6Br), where Cp* = η5-C5(CH3)5, the Fe atom is coordinated by a pentamethylcyclopentadienyl ligand, two carbonyl ligands and a bromoalkyl chain in a pseudo-octahedral arrangement. The molecular geometry is similar to that reported for a related structure, with the alkyl chain in an all-trans conformation and a Fe—C(alkyl) bond length of 2.057 (3) Å. In the crystal structure, the molecules pack in layers.
