The molecular structure of the title compound, [Cu(C11H16N3O3S)2], shows the CuII atom with a distorted square-planar coordination geometry from the N2O2 donor set of the two chelating 2-{[bis(dimethylamino)methylidene]amino}benzenesulfonate ligands. The CuII atom lies 0.065 (1) Å above the N2O2 plane and the Cu—O [2 × 1.945 (2) Å] and Cu—N bond lengths [1.968 (3) and 1.962 (3) Å] lie in expected ranges. The two aromatic ring planes make a dihedral angle of 85.48 (1)°.

In the title compound, [Fe(C11H20N2)2(CO)3], the Fe atom shows a distorted trigonal–bipyramidal geometry with three carbonyl and two carbene ligands. The latter have a cis arrangement, with a C—Fe—C angle of 90.60 (7)°. The Fe atom lies 0.007 (1) Å above the basal plane defined by two carbonyl and one carbene C atoms. The molecular structure is closely related to that of the isomolecular but not isotypic Ru complex with an identical cis arrangement, so, in general, bond geometries lie in expected ranges. In the crystal, C—HO hydrogen bonds link the molecules into infinite zigzag chains extending along [010].
