μ‐Oxo‐bis­[trans‐dichloro­(2,4,6‐tri‐2‐pyridyl‐1,3,5‐triazine)iron(III)] dihydrate

Two iron complexes of the tridentate ligand 2,4,6‐tri‐2‐pyridyl‐1,3,5‐triazine (tpt, C18H12N6) have been isolated and characterized. One is [FeII(tpt)2]Cl2·4H2O, (II), and the other is the title dinuclear complex, [FeIII2Cl4(μ‐O)(tpt)]·2H2O, (III), which has been crystallographically characterized....

Summary:Two iron complexes of the tridentate ligand 2,4,6‐tri‐2‐pyridyl‐1,3,5‐triazine (tpt, C18H12N6) have been isolated and characterized. One is [FeII(tpt)2]Cl2·4H2O, (II), and the other is the title dinuclear complex, [FeIII2Cl4(μ‐O)(tpt)]·2H2O, (III), which has been crystallographically characterized. The coordination sphere around each Fe atom is a distorted octa­hedron formed by three N atoms from the tridentate site of one tpt ligand, coordinated in a meridional fashion, two Cl− ions cis to the central donor of the tpt ligand, and an oxo bridging ligand trans to the tpt ligand. The Fe—N distances are in the range 2.124 (2)–2.202 (3) Å, the Fe—O—Fe angle is 176.13 (14)° and the Fe⋯Fe separation is 3.536 (2) Å.
