Description
Summary:The absolute configuration of the title compound, [Fe(C5H5)(C36H29OP2)], is Sp at the ferrocene group and S at the asymmetric C atom. Both P atoms have a trigonal–pyramidal conformation. There is a short intramolecular C—H...P contact with an H...P distance of 2.56 Å. The hydroxy group is involved in an intramolecular O—H...πphenyl interaction. The crystal packing shows five very weak intermolecular C—H...π contacts, with H...Cg distances between 3.26 and 3.39 Å (Cg is the centroid of a phenyl or cyclopentadienyl ring).
