2-Amino-4-ferrocenyl-thia-zole.

The title compound, [Fe(CH)(CHNS)], was synthesized by the direct reaction of acetyl-ferrocene, thio-urea and resublimed iodine. The structure shows one mol-ecule in the asymmetric unit. The amino-thia-zole ring makes an angle of 14.53 (13)° with the ferrocenyl ring to which it is attached. In the crystal, pairs of complex mol-ecules inter-act inter-molecular N-H⋯N hydrogen bonds, forming a cyclic dimer which then inter-acts with other dimers through C-H⋯π inter-actions.
