Popis: The title compounds, 2-(ferrocenylcarbonyl)benzoic acid, [Fe(C5H5)(C13H9O3)], 1, and 3-ferrocenylphthalide [systematic name: 3-ferrocenyl-2-benzofuran-1(3H)-one], [Fe(C5H5)(C13H9O2)], 2, have been synthesized and structurally characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The crystal structure of compound 1 was solved recently at room temperature [Qin, Y. (2019). CSD Communication (CCDC deposition number 1912662). CCDC, Cambridge, England]. Here we report a redetermination of its crystal structure at 90 K with improved precision by a factor of about three. The molecular structures of both compounds exhibit a typical sandwich structure. In the crystal packing of compound 1, each molecule engages in intermolecular hydrogen bonding, forming a centrosymmetric dimer with graph-set notation R22 (8) and an O...O distance of 2.6073 (15) Å. There are weak C—H...O and C—H...π interactions in the crystal packing of compound 2. The phthalide moiety in 2 is oriented roughly perpendicular to the ferrocene backbone, with a dihedral angle of 77.4 (2)°.
