Abstract

The title compound, [Fe(C5H5)(C27H24OPS2)], is built up from a ferrocene moiety substituted in the 1- and 2-positions by {[4-(all-yloxy)phen-yl]sulfan-yl}methyl and di-phenyl-thio-phosphoryl groups, respectively. The two S atoms lie on opposite sides of the cyclo-penta-dienyl ring plane to which they are attached. In the crystal, C-H⋯S hydrogen bonds link the mol-ecules into a ribbon running parallel to the (-110) plane. C-H⋯π inter-actions link the ribbons to form a three-dimensional network.

Keywords: asymmetric catalysis; crystal structure; ferrocenyl ligands; planar chirality.
