Abstract: The title compound, [Fe(CF₃O₃S)(C₃₆H₄₄N₄)], is an iron(III) porphyrin complex with the trifluoromethanesulfonate anion as an axial ligand. The Fe atom is displaced by 0.219 (2) Å toward the trifluoromethanesulfonate anion from the 24-atom mean plane of the porphyrin, resulting in a distorted FeN₄O square-based pyramidal geometry. One ethylene group is disordered over two orientations in a 0.502 (6):0.498 (6) ratio.
