Abstract

In the title compound, [Fe(C(13)H(11)O(2))(2)], there are markedly different orientations of the two phenyl-meth-oxy-carbonyl substituents [O-C-C-C torsion angles = 84.5 (3) and 139.6 (2)°]. These orientations are mediated by a number of inter-molecular C-H⋯O inter-actions, which result in a one-dimensional hydrogen-bonded network of mol-ecules.
