Crystal Structure of a Mononuclear Iron(III) Complex, Dichloridobis(1,10-phenanthroline-κ²<i>N,N</i>′)iron(III) Hexafluoridophosphate–acetonitrile

Abstract

A mononuclear iron(III) complex, [FeCl2(phen)2][PF6]•MeCN [dichloridobis(1,10-phenanthroline-κ 2 N,N′)iron(III) hexafluoridophosphate-acetonitrile], was synthesized, and characterized by single-crystal X-ray method. The compound crystallized in the monoclinic space group C2/c and Z = 4 with cell parameters a = 16.3586(12)Å, b = 12.6022(9)Å, c = 13.0231(9)Å, β = 103.6760(10) , V = 2608.7(3)Å 3. The R1 [I > 2σ(I)] and wR2 (all data) values were 0.0345 and 0.0949, respectively, for all 3161 independent reflections. Analysis revealed that the complex cation has an octahedral coordination geometry with a Cl2N4 donor set with two chloride ligands at the cis-positions.

Synthesis, characterization, and magnetic and antibacterial properties of a novel iron(iii) complex (CH3)2NH2[Fe(phen)Cl4]

“…38,39 The products formed by the reaction of iron( iii ) chloride with 1,10-phenanthroline as a bidentate nitrogen donor have been widely studied. 40–45 However, only a few of the resulting compounds such as [FeCl 3 (phen)X] (X = CH 3 OH, H 2 O, or Cl), 46 [Fe(phen)Cl 3 (DMSO)], 47 [Fe(phen) 2 Cl 2 ]NO 3 48 and [Fe(phen)Cl 3 (CH 3 OH)]·CH 3 OH 44 have been fully characterized. Herein, we report a novel iron( iii ) complex with the formula (CH 3 ) 2 NH 2 [Fe(phen)Cl 4 ], termed as 1 , along with its structural characterization as well as spectroscopic, thermal and magnetic properties.…”
