Abstract: The molecular structure of the centrosymmetric title compound, [Fe₂(C₅H₅)₂(C₂₄H₁₈)], represents a new application of cross-metathesis for the preparation of functionalized olefins containing two organometallic groups. The two benzene and attached cyclopentadienyl (Cp) rings and the double bond are almost coplanar.
