ABSTRACT: In the first of the compounds reported herein, namely 6'-ferrocenyl-6a'-nitro-6',6a',6b',7',9',11a'-hexa-hydro-2H-spiro-[ace-naphthyl-ene-1,11'-chromeno[3',4':3,4]pyrrolo-[1,2-c]thia-zol]-2-one, [Fe(C5H5)(C29H21N2O4S)], (I), the thia-zolidine ring adopts a twist conformation on the methine N-C atoms. In the second compound, viz. 6'-(4-methoxy-phen-yl)-6a'-nitro-6',6a',6b',7',9',11a'-hexa-hydro-2H-spiro-[ace-naphthyl-ene-1,11'-chromeno[3',4':3,4]pyrrolo-[1,2-c]thia-zol]-2-one, [Fe(C5H5)(C26H19N2O5S)], (II), the thia-zolidine ring adopts an envelope conformation with a methine C atom as the flap. In both compounds, the pyrrolidine ring adopts a twist conformation on the thia-zolidine and tetra-hydro-pyran C atoms. The mean planes of the thia-zolidine and pyrrolidine rings subtend angles of 6
