Following our continuing inter-est in developing new chiral phosphine-containing ferrocenyl ligands, we synthesized the title compound, [Fe(C(5)H(5))(C(26)H(24)OPS)], in which there are two nearly identical mol-ecules in the asymmetric unit. The conformation of the cyclo-penta-dienyl (Cp) rings in each ferrocenyl group are inter-mediate 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, mol-ecules are connected through inter-molecular C-H⋯π inter-actions.
