Abstract: Antimicrobial activities of iron complexes of triphenylphosphine and triphenylarsine oxides are described. Synthesis, analytical data, as well as IR spectre are presented. The triphenylphosphine oxide complexes of the composition [FeX₂(OPPh₃)₄][FeX₄], [Fe(NCS)₃(OPPh₃)₃], [Fe(CH₃CN)₂(OPPh₃)₄] (I₃)₂. S are generally more antimicrobially effective than the triphenylarsine oxide complexes of the composition [(Fe₂^IIIO)  (OAsPh₃)₄X₃] [(Fe^IIIX₄)]. S (X = Cl or Br; S = CH₃CN).
