Abstract: Following our continuing interest in developing new chiral phosphine-containing ferrocenyl ligands, we synthesized the title compound, [Fe(C₅H₅)(C₂₆H₂₄OPS)], in which there are two nearly identical molecules in the asymmetric unit. The conformation of the cyclopentadienyl (Cp) rings in each ferrocenyl group are intermediate between eclipsed and staggered, with twist angles of 16.6 (2) and 8.9 (2)°. The protecting S atom is located endo with respect to the substituted Cp ring. In the crystal, molecules are connected through intermolecular C-H interactions.
