Bis[μ-1,1′-(ferrocene-1,1′-diyl)bis(butane-1,3-dionato)]di-μ-methanol-diiron(II)

Abstract

The asymmetric unit of the title compound, [Fe4(C9H8O2)4(CH3OH)2], contains one half-molecule located on a twofold rotational axis. In the molecule, the two FeII ions bridged by two coordinating methanol molecules are separated by 3.1286 (7) Å. Two crystallographically independent methanol molecules are situated on a twofold rotational axis; all attached H atoms are rotationally disordered between two equal orientations.
