The title compounds, [Fe(C5H5)(C14H13O2)] and [Fe(C5H5)-
(C15H15O2)], respectively, contain the ferrocenyl 5(C5H4) and
phenylene ±C6H4± rings in a nearly coplanar arrangement,
with interplanar angles of 6.88 (12) and 10.5 (2), respectively.
Molecules of the ethyl ester form dimers through 5(C5H5)CÐ
H O C hydrogen bonds, with graph set R22
(20), and,
together with Csp3ÐH (C5H5) interactions, generate a
one-dimensional column (irregular ladder). Molecules of the
isopropyl ester aggregate through 5(C5H5)CÐH (C6H4)
interactions.
