The imide-bridged [3]ferrocenophane 2-pyridyl-1,1'-ferrocenedicarboximide was synthesized directly in one step. X-ray crystal structure determination indicated its characteristic structure; the two cyclopentadienyl rings are staggered and tilted 16.4 degrees with respect to each other. In molecular packing, an intermolecular pi-hydrogen bond interaction (edge-to-face interaction) was revealed between the cyclopentadienyl hydrogen and pyridyl ring.
