Abstract

The salt (ferrocenyl­methyl)­tri­methyl­ammonium iodide, [Fe(C5H5)(C9H15N)]I, is used in an established procedure to attach ferrocenyl­methyl frameworks to secondary amines. The title salt, [Fe(C5H5)(C9H15N)]I3, obtained by diffusion of Et2O vapour into a CH2Cl2 solution containing equimolar [Fe(C5H5)(C9H15N)]I and I2, shows the expected cation balanced by an asymmetric but isolated triiodide counteranion [I-I = 3.0006 (4) and 2.8728 (4) Å].
