2-(Diphenylthiophosphino)dimethylaminomethylferrocene is a key intermediate in the synthesis of various ferrocenyl ligands. During one such synthesis, the title compound, [Fe(C5H5)(C20H22NPS)](C12H10PS2), was isolated as a by-product. It is built up by association of (2-(diphenylphosphino)ferrocenyl)methyl)dimethylammonium cations and diphenylphosphino dithioate anions. N—H...S, C—H...S and C—H...π interactions link the anions and cations. Each anion–cation pair is linked two by two through C—H...π interactions, forming pseudo dimers.
