The mol-ecular structure of the title compound, [Fe(C(5)H(5))(C(13)H(9)N(2))], (I), is analogous to that of the compound (Z)-3-ferrocenyl-2-phenyl-acrylonitrile [Cao & Ye (2008). Acta Cryst. E64, m822], (II), with the pyridine ring in (I) replacing the benzene ring in (II). While the corresponding bond distances and angles in the two compounds show no significant differences, the two dihedral a...
