(Bis[2-(2-oxido-1-naphthylmethylideneamino)phenyl]disulfide)chloroiron(III)

The crystal structure of the title compound, (bis[2-(2-oxido-2-naphthylideneamino)phenyl] disulfide-kappa(5)O,N,S,N',O')chloroiron(III), [FeCl(C(34)H(22)N(2)O(2)S(2))], has been determined. The structure consists of monomeric iron(III) complexes with distorted octahedral coordination. The disulfide functions as a pentadentate ligand and the Fe(III) atom is coordinated through two N, two O and one S atom, and one chloride ion. The distance between the second S atom and the Fe(III) atom is a non-bonding 3.8473 (14) A.
