trans-Bis(acetonitrile-κN)bis­{1,2-bis­[bis­(3-hydroxy­prop­yl)phosphino]ethane-κ(2) P,P′}iron(II) dichloride

In the title compound, [Fe(CH(3)CN)(2)(C(14)H(32)O(4)P(2))(2)]Cl(2), the Fe(II) atom lies on a crystallographic inversion center and has a distorted trans-FeN(2)P(4) octa­hedral coordination environment arising from two P,P′-bidentate 1,2-bis­[bis­(3-hydroxy­prop­yl)phosphino]ethane ligands in the equatorial plane and two acetonitrile mol­ecules in the axial positions. One of the pendant –(CH(2))(3)OH groups of the ligand is disordered over two sets of sites in a 0.597 (5):0.403 (5) ratio. In the crystal, O—H⋯Cl and O—H⋯O hydrogen bonding helps to establish the packing.
