organic compounds
The crystal structure of the title complex, [Fe2(C16H16N2)(CO)6], contains two crystallographically independent molecules of the complex which have enantiomeric conformations and show notable differences in the geometry of the organic ligand. The typical Fe—Fe single bond is unsymmetrically bridged by the N atom and by a 3-metallated 2,3-π bonded aromatic ring.
