The alkoxide compound of the present invention is represented by general formula (I) below. The alkoxide compound of the present invention is an iron compound that can be delivered in a liquid state and is easily vaporized due to its high vapor pressure. The compound particularly enables production of thin films with excellent composition controllability, and hence is suitable for producing multi-component thin films by CVD. ##STR00001## (In the formula, R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 each independently represent a hydrogen atom or C.sub.1-4 alkyl group, R.sup.3 and R.sup.4 each represent a C.sub.1-4 alkyl group, and A represents a C.sub.1-8 alkanediyl group.)
