Chlorohydridobis(bis-1,2-(diphenylphosphino)ethane)iron(II) is a coordination complex with the formula HFeCl(dppe)₂, where dppe is the ligand 1,2-bis(diphenylphosphino)ethane.^[1] It is a organometallic compound with the chemical formula FeHCl[(C6H5)2PCH2CH2P(C6H5)2]2 or FeHCl(dppe)2. The trans confirmation is the most often reported structure the compound is a red-violet crystalline solid. The compound is an electron-rich, coordinatively unsaturated complex where the iron metal is in a low oxidation state.^[2] It is typical used as the starting material for a number of iron complexes containing the Fe[(C6H5)2PCH2CH2P(C6H5)2]2 moiety.
