Abstract: The absolute configuration of the title compound, [Fe(C₅H₅)(C₃₆H₂₉OP₂)], is S_p at the ferrocene group and S at the asymmetric C atom. Both P atoms have a trigonal-pyramidal conformation. There is a short intramolecular C-HP contact with an HP distance of 2.56 Å. The hydroxy group is involved in an intramolecular O-H_phenyl interaction. The crystal packing shows five very weak intermolecular C-H contacts, with HCg distances between 3.26 and 3.39 Å (Cg is the centroid of a phenyl or cyclopentadienyl ring).
