Dichloro(methanol-κO)[3-methoxysalicylaldehyde (4-methoxybenzoyl)hydrazonato-κ3O,O′,N]iron(III) methanol solvate
Abstract
The FeIII atom in the title complex, [Fe(HL)Cl2(CH3OH)]·CH3OH, [H2L = 3-methoxysalicylaldehyde (4-methoxybenzoyl)hydrazone, C16H15N2O4], is coordinated by two O atoms and one N atom of the tridentate hydrazone ligand, two chloride anions and one methanol molecule, thus defining a distorted octahedral geometry. A chain structure is constructed by hydrogen-bond interactions.
