Bis­(ethanol-κO)bis(1-ferrocenyl-4,4,4-tri­fluoro­butane-1,3-dionato-κ2O,O′)nickel(II)

In the title compound, [NiFe2(C5H5)(C9H5F3O2)2(C2H6O)2], the central NiII ion is observed in an octa­hedral coordination environment. The chelating β-diketonate ligands are substituted by ferrocene, a lipophilic organometallic moiety. The ferrocene groups have the normal geometry, with eclipsed cyclo­penta­diene rings. Coordinated ethanol mol­ecules are engaged in inter­molecular hydrogen bonds, and the crystal is further stabilized by weak C—H⋯F and C—H⋯π contacts.
