{1-[1-(3-Carboxy-propanamido)eth-yl]-1',2-bis-(diphenyl-phosphino)ferrocene-κP,P'}dichloridoplatinum(II) dichloro-methane 1.25-solvate.

The dinuclear title compound, [FePtCl(2)(C(17)H(14)P)(C(23)H(23)NO(3)P)]·1.25CH(2)Cl(2), has a slightly distorted cis-PtCl(2)P(2) square-planar geometry around the Pt atom, and the ferrocenylphosphine ligands are staggered at an angle of 29.4 (2)° about Pt. In the crystal structure, the complex forms centrosymmetric dimers via two strong inter-molecular O-H⋯O bonds resulting in R(2) (2)(8) rings. A weak intra-molecular N-H⋯Cl bond leads to an S(8) motif. The solvent is highly disordered and has not been modelled with discrete atoms.
