The title compound, [Fe(C12H8N2)3](C6H5N2O2)2, consists of one [Fe(phen)3]2+ cation (phen = 1,10-phenanthroline) and two 1,1-dicyano-2-eth­oxy-2-oxoethanide anions. Five atoms of the anion are disordered over two positions [site occupancy = 0.521 (13) for the major component]. In the complex cation, the FeII atom is coordinated by six N atoms from three phen ligands in a distorted octa­hedral geometry. Two intra­molecular C—H...N hydrogen bonds occur in the complex cation. The crystal structure is mainly stabilized by Coulombic inter­actions. Weak intermolecular C—H...N inter­actions are also observed.
