Abstract:
The title compound, [Fe(C(7)H(5)FN)Cl(C(3)H(9)P)(3)], was obtained as a product of the reaction of [Fe(Me(3)P)(4)] with a molar equivalent of (2-chloro-6-fluoro-phen-yl)methanimine in diethyl ether. This compound is sensitive to air, and rapidly decomposes when exposed to air for a few minutes. The Fe atom has an octa-hedral coordination geometry in which the bidentate fluoro-phenyl methanimine ligand forms the equatorial plane with the Cl atom and one of the trimethyl-phosphane ligands. The other two trimethyl-phosphane ligands are located in the axial positions. In the crystal, an N-H⋯Cl hydrogen bond occurs.
