The title compound, [Fe2(C5H5)2(C13H8OS2)], crystallizes with two molecules in the asymmetric unit. Each molecule comprises a pair of ferrocenyl units bridged by a dithiol-3-one moiety. The dihedral angles between the dithiol-3-one ring and the substituted cyclopentadienyl rings are in the range 32.4 (3)–39.3 (3)°. One of the dithiol-3-one rings was refined as being disordered over two sets of sites while the same kind of disorder in the other molecule was negligible. The molecular packing is dominated by C—H...O hydrogen bonds and C—H...π interactions.
