Abstract

In the title compound, [FeBr(C9H9NO2S)(C30H30N2P2)][B(C6H5)4], the Fe(II) ion is in a distorted octa-hedral CBrN2P2 coordination geometry with a P-Fe-P angle of 109.95 (3)°. The relative orientation of the p-toluene-sulfonyl-methyl isocyanide ligand is defined by the C-S-C-N torsion angle of 67.1 (2)°. In the crystal, pairs of weak C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds connect the cations into inversion dimers, forming R 2 (2)(8) rings.
