Abstract: The title compound, [Fe(C₁₆H₁₆NO₆)₂], has been synthesized by reacting 1,1'-bis(chlorocarbonyl)ferrocene with 2-[2-(4-nitrophenoxy)ethoxy]ethanol. The metal ion is localized on a twofold axis and the whole molecule is V-shaped, with an angle of 78.63 (2)° between the two cyclopentadienyl arms (non-bonding angle between N atoms of nitro groups and Fe as pivot). The C-1-centroid-centroid-C-1' pseudo-torsion angle is 45.1 (8)°.
