N,N′-Dibutyl-N,N,N′,N′-tetramethylethane-1,2-diaminium μ-oxido-bis[trichloridoferrate(III)]

Abstract

The asymmetric unit of the title compound, (C14H34N2)[Fe2Cl6O], contains one complete cation, two half-cations and two anions. The two half-cations are completed by crystallographic inversion symmetry. The FeIII atoms adopt fairly regular FeCl3O tetra­hedral geometries, although the bridging Fe—O—Fe bond angles differ significantly in the two anions, which both adopt an eclipsed conformation. In the crystal, the components are linked by C—H⋯Cl and C—H⋯O inter­actions.
