Bis{2-[(2-benzoylhydrazin-1-ylidene)methyl]-6-methoxyphenolato}iron(III) chloride monohydrate

Abstract

In the title mononuclear iron(III) complex, [Fe(C15H13N2O3)2]Cl·H2O, the FeIII atom has a distorted octahedral geometry and is six-coordinated by four O atoms and two N atoms from two ligands. In the crystal structure, the complex cations, Cl− anions and water molecules are connected into a chain along [100] through N—H...O, O—H...Cl and N—H...Cl hydrogen bonds. Two adjacent chains are linked by O—H...O hydrogen bonds.
