The title compound (I), C23H23NO3Fe, crystallized in the space group P21/c with Z = 4 whereas the compound (II), C23H23NO4Fe, crystallized in the space group Pbca with Z = 8. In each compound of (I) and (II), in addition to a strong [N–H···O=C] intramolecular hydrogen bond, an infinite one-dimensional chain in the [010] direction is formed by a C–H···O=COEt hydrogen bond for (I) and by C–H···O=COEt and C–H···O=C hydrogen bonds for (II).
