The title compound, [Fe(η5-C5H5)(NH2CH2CHBrCH2Br)(CO)2](BF4) contains an FeII cation with a three-legged piano-stool coordination. The NH2CH2CHBrCH2Br ligand contains a chiral carbon atom. The Fe—N bond length is 2.011 (3) Å and the Fe—Cp centroid distance is 1.7189 (5) Å. In the crystal, the ions are linked via two N—H...F interactions and a weak N—H...Br interaction.
