Abstract: The dinuclear title compound, [FePtCl₂(C₁₇H₁₄P)(C₂₃H₂₃NO₃P)]·1.25CH₂Cl₂, has a slightly distorted cis-PtCl₂P₂ square-planar geometry around the Pt atom, and the ferrocenylphosphine ligands are staggered at an angle of 29.4 (2)° about Pt. In the crystal structure, the complex forms centrosymmetric dimers via two strong intermolecular O-HO bonds resulting in R₂²(8) rings. A weak intramolecular N-HCl bond leads to an S(8) motif. The solvent is highly disordered and has not been modelled with discrete atoms.
