Crystal and molecular structure of aquachlorobis(α-picolinato)iron(III)

Abstract

The crystal and molecular structure of the title compound has been determined from single-crystal X-ray data and refined by full-matrix least-squares to R 0.035, The yellow-green prismatic crystal of triclinic space group P has unit cell dimensions: a= 8.426(4), b= 14.772(7), c= 7.479(3)Å. α= 97.91(3), β= 131.23(2), and γ= 91.45(3)°. The structure shows Fe^III co-ordinated octahedrally to a single carboxy-oxygen, the nitrogen of each of two picolinates, a chloride, and the oxygen of a water molecule.
