Azido[1,1′-bis(diphenylphosphino)ferrocene] (pentamethylcyclopentadienyl)rhodium(III) hexafluorophosphate

In the title compound, azido-2kappaN-bis[mu-(1eta(5): 2kappaP)-diphenylphosphinocyclopentadienyl][ 2(eta(5))-pentamethylcyclopentadienyl] iron(III) rhodium(III) hexafluorophosphate, [{Rh(C10H15)( N-3)}{Fe(mu-C17H14P)(2)}] PF6 or [FeRh(C10H15)(mu-C17H14P)(2)(N-3)] PF6, the coordination sphere of Rh-III can be described as pseudo-tetrahedral, composed of two P atoms from a 1,1'-bis( diphenylphosphino) ferrocene (dppf) ligand, an azido N atom and the centroid of the ring of a C5Me5 (Cp*) ligand. The two cyclopentadienyl rings in the dppf moiety adopt an eclipsed conformation. The Rh...Fe distance is 4.340 (2) Angstrom.
