The title compound, [Fe(C(5)H(5))(C(11)H(9)O)], is of inter-est as a precursor to the synthesis of cheap ferrocene-based liquid crystals. The -OH substituent only results in weak C-H⋯O weak inter-actions between one of cyclo-penta-dienyl (Cp) ring H atoms and the O atom of a neighbouring mol-ecule with a distance of 3.308 (3) Å between the donor and acceptor atoms. The inter-planar angle between the Cp and benzene rings is 13.0 (4)°. There are also weak O-H⋯π and C-H⋯π inter-actions involving the unsubstituted Cp and the benzene ring, respectively.
标题化合物[Fe(C₅H₅)(C₁₁H₉O)]作为合成廉价的基于二茂铁的液晶的前体具有重要意义。-OH取代基仅导致环戊二烯基（Cp）环的一个H原子与相邻分子的O原子之间形成弱的C-H⋯O相互作用，供体和受体原子之间的距离为3.308 (3) Å。Cp环和苯环之间的平面夹角为13.0 (4)°。还分别存在涉及未取代的Cp和苯环的弱O-H⋯π和C-H⋯π相互作用。
