N-Ferrocenymethyl-N-phenyl-propionamide

In the title compound, [Fe(C(5)H(5))(C(15)H(16)NO)], the two cyclo-penta-dienyl (Cp) rings are nearly parallel to each other, forming a dihedral angle of 3.7 (1)°, and adopt a staggered conformation. The amide group is almost perpendicular to the plane of the substituted Cp ring, with a C-N-C-C torsion angle of 101.3 (2)°, and the N and O atoms in the ethanoyl group are coplanar, with a C-N-C-O torsion angle of -0.7 (3)°. Weak C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds link adjacent mol-ecules.
