The title compound, [Fe(C12H8N2)3][Fe2Cl6O]·0.5CH3CH2OH, consists of one [Fe(phen)3]2+ cation (phen = 1,10-phen­anthroline), one [Fe2Cl6O]2− anion and one half-mol­ecule of ethanol. In the cation, the FeII atom is coordinated by six N atoms from three phen ligands in a distorted octa­hedral geometry. In the bent anion, two FeIII atoms are connected by a bridging oxide O atom [bridging angle = 160.6 (4)°], and each FeIII atom is also coordinated by three Cl atoms, completing a distorted tetra­hedral geometry.

Comment top

1,10-Phenanthroline (phen) is a widely utilized chelating ligand in coordination chemistry and a lot of complexes with phen as a ligand have been reported (Hwang & Ha, 2006; Potocnak et al., 2002; Zhou & Guo, 2007). Plaza et al. (2007) has reported the structure of a complex with [Fe(phen)3]2+ as cation and simple halide as counter-ion. We report here the synthesis and crystal structure of the title compound, in which an oxide-bridged iron(III) complex acts as counter-ion.

The title compound comprises one [Fe(phen)3]2+ cation, one [Fe2Cl6O]2- anion and a half of solvent ethanol molecule (Fig. 1). The FeII atom in the cation is coordinated by six N atoms from three phen ligands, forming a distorted FeN6 octahedral geometry. The Fe—N bond lengths are in the normal range (Table 1). In the anion, two FeIII atoms are bridged by an oxide O atom and is also coordinated by three Cl atoms in a distorted tetrahedral geometry. The Fe—Cl bond distances are in the range of 2.204 (3) to 2.231 (2) Å. The distance betweeen the FeIII atoms (Fe2 and Fe3) bridged by the O1 atom is 3.441 (5) Å [Fe2—O1 = 1.735 (5) and Fe3—O1 = 1.756 (5) Å].

Experimental top

Fe(ClO4)2.6H2O (0.036 g, 0.1 mmol) and 1,10-phenanthroline (0.054 g, 0.3 mmol) are dissolved in 15 ml of water and ethanol (1:2 in volume), resulting in a pale green solution, which was transfered to the left hand of an H-shaped tube. An aqueous solution (15 ml) of FeCl3 (0.032 g, 0.2 mmol) was placed in the right hand of the tube. An ethanol solution serving as the diffusion solvent was put in the connecting part between the left and right hands of the tube. The reaction container was kept at room temperature. Dark brown crystals suitable for X-ray diffraction analysis were obtained in the connecting part of the H-shaped tube after two months (yield 60% based on Fe).

Refinement top

H atoms were positioned geometrically and refined as riding atoms, with C—H = 0.93 (aromatic), 0.97 (CH2) and 0.96 (CH3) Å and Uiso(H) = 1.2(1.5 for methyl)Ueq(C), and with O—H = 0.82 Å and Uiso(H) = 1.5Ueq(O).
