2,9-Dimethyl-1,10-phenanthrolin-1-ium tetrachloridoferrate(III) methanol monosolvate

In the title compound, (C14H13N2)[FeCl4]·CH3OH, the 2,9-dimethyl-1,10-phenanthrolin-1-ium cation, FeCl4− anion and methanol solvent molecule lie on a twofold rotation axis. Due to symmetry, the H atom on the N atom of the cation is half-occupied. In the anion, the FeIII at...

Description
Summary:In the title compound, (C14H13N2)[FeCl4]·CH3OH, the 2,9-dimethyl-1,10-phenanthrolin-1-ium cation, FeCl4− anion and methanol solvent molecule lie on a twofold rotation axis. Due to symmetry, the H atom on the N atom of the cation is half-occupied. In the anion, the FeIII atom has a tetrahedral geometry. H atoms of the methanol molecule are disordered over two sets of sites around the twofold axis. In the crystal, π–π contacts between the pyridine rings and between the pyridine and benzene rings [centroid–centroid distances = 3.6535 (16) and 3.5522 (17) Å] and intermolecular O—H...N and N—H...O hydrogen bonds stabilize the structure.
