(Rp)-1-{(R)-(Dimethylamino)[2-(diphenylphosphanyl)phenyl]methyl}-2-(diphenylphosphanyl)ferrocene chloroform solvate
(2008)
- The absolute configuration of the title molecule, [Fe(C5H5)(C38H34NP2)]·CHCl3, is R,Rp. The molecular structure is similar to the structure of the solvent-free compound [Fukuzawa, Yamamoto & Kikuchi (2007). J. Org. Chem. 72, 1514-1517], but some torsion angles about the P-Cphenyl bonds differ by up to 25°. The P atoms and the N atom have a distorted trigonal-pyramidal geometry. The chloroform solvate group donates a C-H...[pi] bond to the central benzene ring and is also involved in six intermolecular C-H...Cl contacts with H...Cl distances between 2.96 and 3.13 Å. Key indicators: single-crystal X-ray study; T = 163 K; mean σ(C–C) = 0.003 Å; R factor = 0.039; wR factor = 0.088; data-to-parameter ratio = 24.2.

(Sp)-1-Diphenylphosphanyl-2-{(S)-[2-(diphenylphosphanyl)phenyl]hydroxymethyl}ferrocene
(2008)
- The absolute configuration of the title compound, [Fe(C5H5)(C36H29OP2)], is Sp at the ferrocene group and S at the asymmetric C atom. Both P atoms have a trigonal-pyramidal conformation. There is a short intramolecular C-H...P contact with an H...P distance of 2.56 Å. The hydroxy group is involved in an intramolecular O-H...[pi]phenyl interaction. The crystal packing shows five very weak intermolecular C-H...[pi] contacts, with H...Cg distances between 3.26 and 3.39 Å (Cg is the centroid of a phenyl or cyclopentadienyl ring). Key indicators: single-crystal X-ray study; T = 162 K; mean σ(C–C) = 0.004 Å; R factor = 0.038; wR factor = 0.083; data-to-parameter ratio = 22.3.

Bis[5-(4-methoxybenzyl)furan-3-yl]methanone
(2009)
- The title compound, C25H22O5, was obtained by a dehydrogenative carbonylation reaction. It crystallizes with one half-molecule in the asymmetric unit. The molecules have crystallographic C2 symmetry and the two atoms of the carbonyl group are located on the rotation axis. The methoxy groups are coplanar with the benzene ring to which they are attached [C-C-O-C = 1.0 (6)°]. The two furan rings are inclined at 17.3 (3)° with respect to each other and the dihedral angle between the furan ring and the benzene ring is 75.83 (12)°. The crystal structure is stabilized by C-H...O hydrogen bonds. Key indicators: single-crystal X-ray study; T = 183 K; mean ( σ(C–C) = 0.006 Å; R factor = 0.081; wR factor = 0.195; data-to-parameter ratio = 13.4.
