Cover illustration: The asymmetric unit of 5-chloro-2-ferrocenylbenzo[d]oxazole, [Fe(C5H5)(C12H7ClNO)], consists of one ferrocenyl group bonded to chloro­benzo[d]oxazole. The conformation of the ferrocenyl moiety is slightly away from eclipsed. The crystal packing is characterized by inter­molecular [pi]-[pi] contacts, resulting in chain formation along the b-axis direction. Together with a C-H...[pi] inter­action, these inter­molecular contacts form laminar arrays along the ac plane.
