[N,N′-Bis(2,6-diisopropylphenyl)pentane-2,4-diamine(1–)-2κ2N,N′]-μ2-chlorido-1:2κ2Cl:Cl-chlorido-2κCl-bis(1,2-dimethoxyethane-1κ2O,O′)iron(II)lithium
Abstract
In the title compound, [FeLi(C29H41N2)Cl2(C4H10O2)2], the FeII atom is coordinated by two N and two Cl atoms, generating a distorted FeN2Cl2 tetrahedral geometry. Additionally, one of the chloride atoms bridges to a lithium ion, which is solvated by two dimethoxyethane molecules and is coordinated in a distorted trigonal-bipyramidal environment. The central Fe, Cl (× 2) and Li atoms are coplanar with a maximum deviation of 0.034 Å.
