Abstract

The title complex crystallized as the BF 4 − salt in the orthorhombic space group Fdd2, with unit cell parameters a = 21.749 (σ = 0.004), b = 27.788(0.006), c = 8.900(0.002) Å. The iron(II) atom has slightly distorted octahedral coordination, in which the ligands are bound in a cis-facial configuration. The electronic properties of this brightly coloured low-spin complex are briefly discussed in relationship to the determined structure, and commentary is made upon the relationship between the lengths of FeN(aliphatic) and FeN(heteroaromatic) bonds in sexacoordinate iron(II) complexes and the spin state of the iron.
