The dinuclear title compound, [FePtCl2(C17H14P)(C23H23NO3P)]·1.25CH2Cl2, has a slightly distorted cis-PtCl2P2 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 intermolecular O—H...O bonds resulting in R22(8) rings. A weak intramolecular N—H...Cl bond leads to an S(8) motif. The solvent is highly disordered and has not been modelled with discrete atoms.
