Abstract
The crystal structure of (1R, 2R)-bis(ferrocenylimine)cyclohexane reveals a helical structure due to self-assembling via C-H⋯π interactions. Hydrogen bonds involving the water molecules present in the crystal lattice and additional C-H⋯π interactions act as bridges between the parallel helices and a two-dimensional network is formed. © 2004 Elsevier B.V.
