(S)-1-Diphenyl-phosphanyl-2-{(S)-[2-(diphenyl-phosphan-yl)phen-yl]hydroxy-meth-yl}ferrocene.

The absolute configuration of the title compound, [Fe(C(5)H(5))(C(36)H(29)OP(2))], 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 intra-molecular C-H⋯P contact with an H⋯P distance of 2.56†à . The hydr-oxy group is involved in an intra-molecular O-H⋯π(phen-yl) inter-action. The crystal packing shows five very weak inter-molecular C-H⋯π contacts, with H⋯Cg distances between 3.26 and 3.39†à (Cg is the centroid of a phenyl or cyclo-penta-dienyl ring).
