Abstract: The absolute configuration of the title molecule, [Fe(C₅H₅)(C₃₈H₃₄NP₂)]·CHCl₃, is R,R_p. The molecular structure is similar to the structure of the solvent-free compound [Fukuzawa, Yamamoto & Kikuchi (2007). J. Org. Chem. 72, 1514-1517], but some torsion angles about the P-C_phenyl bonds differ by up to 25°. The P atoms and the N atom have a distorted trigonal-pyramidal geometry. The chloroform solvate group donates a C-H bond to the central benzene ring and is also involved in six intermolecular C-HCl contacts with HCl distances between 2.96 and 3.13 Å.
