Abstract:
The title compound is a five-coordinate square-pyramidal zinc-porphyrin complex, [(C44H28N4)Zn(C10H9N2O)Fe(C5H5)]·1.5C7H8, with a 4-(ferrocene-1-carboxamido)pyridine apical ligand. The complexes assemble in the crystal structure by head-to-tail stacking of the 4-(ferrocene-1-carboxamido)pyridine groups, which interact through - stacking of the pyridine and cyclopentadienyl rings.
