fac-Tris(4-aminobenzohydroxamato)iron(III) ethanol solvate

Abstract

In the structure of the title compound, [Fe(C7H7N2O2)3]·CH3CH2OH, the FeIII atom is in a distorted octahedral O6 environment with the three hydroxamate O atoms (and the three carbonyl O atoms) arranged in a fac configuration and one of the hydroxamate ligands being puckered. The methyl C atom of the ethanol solvent molecule is disordered over two positions with occupancies of 0.626 (13) and 0.374 (13), respectively. The cocrystallized ethanol molecule is hydrogen bonded to one of the hydroxamate O atoms. O—H...O and N—H...O interactions generate infinite three-dimensional networks along [100], [010] and [001].
