[1,2-Bis(diphenylphosphino)ethane]chlorido(η5-pentamethylcyclopentadienyl)iron(II) dichloromethane solvate

In the title compound, [Fe(C(10)H(15))Cl(C(26)H(24)P(2))]center dot CH(2)Cl(2), the FeII atom is coordinated by two P atoms from a 1,2-bis(diphenylphosphino)ethane ligand [Fe-P = 2.2130 (7) and 2.2231 (7) A], a chloride anion [Fe-Cl = 2.3329 (7) A] and a pentamethylcyclopentadienyl (Cp*) ligand [Fe-centroid(Cp*) = 1.732 (3) A] in a typical piano-stool geometry. In the crystal structure, the complex and solvent molecules are paired via weak C-H...Cl interactions.
