Abstract: The title compound, [Fe₂(C₅H₅)₂(C₂₄H₂₂BP₂)(CO)₄][FeCl₄]·CHCl₃, is an oxidation product of CpFe(CO)₂PPh₂BH₃. One pair of phenyl rings attached to the two different P atoms are almost parallel, as are the other pair [dihedral angles = 8.7 (5) and 8.9 (5)°]. The planes of the two cyclopentadienyl rings are inclined by 26.8 (7)° with respect to each other. The carbonyl groups at each Fe atom are almost perpendicular [C-Fe-C = 92.6 (6) and 94.3 (5)°].
