Abstract

In the title compound, [Fe(C5H5)(C23H22N2)]PF6, the F atoms of the [PF6]- anion are disordered over four different orientations with equal occupancies. In the cation, the five-membered imidazolium ring forms dihedral angles of 71.48 (10) and 19.83 (10)° with the substituted C5H4 ring and the benzene ring of the styryl group, respectively. In the crystal structure, there is a significant C-H...[pi]([eta]5-C5H4) interaction.
