Abstract: The title compound, [Fe(C₅H₅)(C₂₆H₃₁NOP)], contains one planar and two central chiral centers. It is of interest with respect to asymmetric catalysis. In the ferrocenyl moiety, the cyclopentadienyl (Cp) rings are twisted from the eclipsed conformation by 15.83° (average value). The two Cp rings make a dihedral angle of 5.24 (10)°. There are intramolecular O-HN, C-HP and C-H hydrogen bonds. The structure is packed by one prominent and other weak C-H contacts and hydrophobic interactions.
