Bis{1,2-bis[bis(3-hydroxypropyl)phosphino]ethane}dichloridoiron(II)

Abstract

In the title compound, [FeCl2(C14H32O4P2)2], the FeII atom (site symmetry overline{1}) adopts a distorted trans-FeCl2P4 octahedral geometry with two P,P′-bidentate ligands in the equatorial positions and two chloride ions in the axial positions. In the crystal, molecules are linked by O—H...O and O—H...Cl hydrogen bonds, generating a three-dimensional network.
