trans-Bis(acetonitrile-κN)bis-{1,2-bis-[bis-(3-hydroxy-prop-yl)phosphino]ethane-κP,P'}iron(II) dichloride
Abstract:
In the title compound, [Fe(CH(3)CN)(2)(C(14)H(32)O(4)P(2))(2)]Cl(2), the Fe(II) atom lies on a crystallographic inversion center and has a distorted trans-FeN(2)P(4) octa-hedral coordination environment arising from two P,P'-bidentate 1,2-bis-[bis-(3-hydroxy-prop-yl)phosphino]ethane ligands in the equatorial plane and two acetonitrile mol-ecules in the axial positions. One of the pendant -(CH(2))(3)OH groups of the ligand is disordered over two sets of sites in a 0.597 (5):0.403 (5) ratio. In the crystal, O-H⋯Cl and O-H⋯O hydrogen bonding helps to establish the packing.
