Crystal structure and Hirshfeld surface analysis of (Z)-N-{chloro[(4-ferrocenylphenyl)imino]methyl}-4-ferrocenylaniline N,N-dimethylformamide monosolvate

The title molecule, [Fe2(C5H5)2(C23H17ClN2)] · C3H7NO, is twisted end to end and the central N/C/N unit is disordered. In the crystal, several C — H... π (ring) interactions lead to the formation of layers, which are connected by further C — H... π (ring) interactions. A Hirshfeld surface analysis of the crystal structure indicates that the most important contributions for the crystal packing are from H...H (60.2%) and H...C/C...H (27.0%) interactions. Hydrogen bonding, C — H... π (ring) interactions and van der Waals interactions dominate the crystal packing.
