Dicarbonyl(η⁵-cyclopentadienyl)(trimethylsilyl isocyanide)iron(II) trifluoromethanesulfonate

Abstract

In the title compound, [Fe(C5H5)(C4H9NSi)(CO)2](CF3SO3), the Fe atom is coordinated by two carbonyl groups, a tri­methyl­silyl­isocyanide ligand and a cyclo­penta­dienyl ligand in a typical piano-stool structure. The Fe—CN, C≡N and CN—Si bond distances are 1.862 (4), 1.157 (6) and 1.794 (4) Å, respectively, and the Fe—C—N—Si arrangement is almost linear.
