Abstract: The title compound, [Fe(C₅H₅)(C₃₀H₃₂O₇P)], which is an intermediate in the synthesis of (R_p)-2-(diphenylphosphino)ferrocene-1-carboxylic acid, crystallizes in the common chiral space group P2₁2₁2₁. In general, the molecular geometry is very similar to that of the corresponding 2,1'-bis(diphenylphosphino) congener. The ferrocene unit assumes a regular geometry with the proximal bulky substituents efficiently avoiding mutual spatial contacts. In the crystal, the molecules participate in weak intra- and intermolecular C-HO interactions.
