Tris(5,6-dimethyl-1,10-phenanthroline-κ2N,N′)iron(II) bis(tricyanomethanide)

The title compound, [Fe(C14H12N2)3](C4N3)2, consists of one [Fe(dimephen)3]2+ complex cation (dimephen = 5,6-dimethyl-1,10-phenanthroline) and two uncoordinating tcm anions (tcm = tricyanomethanide). In the complex cation, the FeII atom is coordinated by six N atoms from three chelating dimephen lig...
