2,9-Dimethyl-1,10-phenanthrolin-1-ium tetrachloridoferrate(III) methanol monosolvate

چکیده مقاله

In the title compound, (C₁₄H₁₃N₂) [FeCl₄]·CH₃OH, the 2,9-dimethyl-1,10-phenanthrolin- 1-ium cation, FeCl₄^- anion and methanol solvent molecule lie on a twofold rotation axis. Due to symmetry, the H atom on the N atom of the cation is half-occupied. In the anion, the Fe^III atom has a tetrahedral geometry. H atoms of the methanol molecule are disordered over two sets of sites around the twofold axis. In the crystal, π-π contacts between the pyridine rings and between the pyridine and benzene rings [centroid-centroid distances = 3.6535 (16) and 3.5522 (17) Å] and intermolecular O - H⋯N and N - H⋯O hydrogen bonds stabilize the structure. © 2012 International Union of Crystallography.
