The asymmetric unit of the title crystal, [FeCl2(C3H9P)3(CO)]·[FeCl2(C3H9P)2(CO)2]·2C4H8O, contains half mol­ecules of the two closely related FeII complexes lying on mirror planes and a tetra­hydro­furan solvent mol­ecule, one C atom of which is disordered over two sets of sites with site occupancy factors 0.633 (9) and 0.367 (9). In both FeII complex mol­ecules, a distorted octa­hedral coordination geometry has been observed around the Fe atoms. Weak intermolecular C-H...O inter­actions are observed in the crystal structure.

An interesting cocrystallization has occurred from a reaction of CO with Cl2Fe(PMe3)2, resulting in compound (I), C8H18Cl2FeO2P2, from the addition of two equivalents of CO to Cl2Fe(PMe3)2 and compound (II), C10H27Cl2FeOP3, probably from the addition of one equivalent of CO, followed by the rapid addition of one equivalent of free PMe3, which is present in the reaction solution. In this paper, we report the crystal structure of the two compounds, (I) and (II) which have been cocrystallized along with a molecule of tetrahydrofuran solvate per molecule of complex (Fig. 1).

The asymmetric unit of the title crystal contains half molecules of the two compounds, (I) and (II), lying on mirror planes and a molecule of tetrahydrofuran solvate, C4H8O; a carbon atom of the solvent molecule is disordered over two sites C4S and C4S' with site occupancy factors 0.633 (9) and 0.367 (9). In compound (I), the PMe3 ligands occupying axial positions, are trans with respect to each other with an angle of 175.20 (4)° and the CO and Cl are trans with respect to each other at equatorial positions. In compound (II), the trans PMe3 ligands are located at 166.41 (4)° to each other; the 3rd PMe3 is trans to a Cl. The octahedral coordination is completed with the 2nd Cl being trans to a CO ligand. In both compounds, the ligands around Fe lie in slightly distorted octahedral coordination geometry. An overlay plot of the two molecules drawn by Mercury (Macrae et al., 2008) shows the close similarity of the two molecules (Fig. 2).

There are weak intermolecular interactions of the type C–H···O which are observed between both the carbonyl O atoms of (I) and a methyl hydrogen atom of (II). The O of the solvent THF also has weak interactions with a methyl hydrogen atoms of (II) (Table 1).

Experimental top

FeCl2 (0.21 g, 1.62 x 10 -3 mol) and PMe3 (0.40 ml, 3.86 x 10-3) were stirred in 20 ml of THF for 10 min, producing a clear gray solution of Cl2Fe(PMe3)2 (Harris et al., 1978) in the presence of excess PMe3. Carbon monoxide was then bubbled through the solution until the color changed to an intense orange. The THF solvent was removed under vacuum and the resulting powder was extracted with pentane. After filtration through Celite, the pentane was removed under vacuum. The product was dissolved in a 1:2 mixture of THF and pentane and cooled to 243 K, causing orange crystals to form overnight.

Refinement top

H atoms bonded to the C atoms located on the mirror planes were located in a difference map and refined using a riding model. Other H atoms were calculated with idealized geometries with C–H = 0.98 and 0.99 Å for methyl and methylene type H-atoms, respectively, and refined using a riding model with Uiso(H) = 1.2 (1.5 for methyl groups) times Ueq(C). A molecule of THF was located in the asymmetric unit wherein C4 was disordered with partial occupancy factors 0.633 (9) and 0.367 (9).

Geometry. All e.s.d.'s (except the e.s.d. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell e.s.d.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of e.s.d.'s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between e.s.d.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell e.s.d.'s is used for estimating e.s.d.'s involving l.s. planes.

Refinement. Refinement of F2 against ALL reflections. The weighted R-factor wR and goodness of fit S are based on F2, conventional R-factors R are based on F, with F set to zero for negative F2. The threshold expression of F2 > σ(F2) is used only for calculating R-factors(gt) etc. and is not relevant to the choice of reflections for refinement. R-factors based on F2 are statistically about twice as large as those based on F, and R- factors based on ALL data will be even larger. SHELX restraints used:
