The title dinitrosyl iron diphosphane complex, [Fe(NO)2(C18H12Cl3P)2] or Fe(NO)2L2 [L = P(C6H4-p-Cl)3] belongs to the family of metal dinitrosyl compounds with the general formula Fe(NO)2(L)x, referred to collectively as dinitrosyl iron compounds (DNICs). The iron atom is tetrahedrally coordinated by two phosphane ligands and two NO groups with Fe—N—O bond angles of 178.76 (15) and 177.67 (14)°.
