[1,2-Bis(diphenyl-phosphino)ethane]-chlorido(η-penta-methyl-cyclo-penta-dien-yl)iron(II) dichloro-methane solvate.

ABSTRACT

In the title compound, [Fe(C(10)H(15))Cl(C(26)H(24)P(2))]·CH(2)Cl(2), the Fe(II) atom is coordinated by two P atoms from a 1,2-bis-(diphenyl-phosphino)ethane ligand [Fe-P = 2.2130 (7) and 2.2231 (7) Å], a chloride anion [Fe-Cl = 2.3329 (7) Å] and a penta-methyl-cyclo-penta-dienyl (Cp*) ligand [Fe-centroid(Cp*) = 1.732 (3) Å] in a typical piano-stool geometry. In the crystal structure, the complex and solvent mol-ecules are paired via weak C-H⋯Cl inter-actions.
