?-Aqua-bis-(?-4-methyl-benzoato-?O:O')bis-[(4-methyl-benzoato-?O)(1,10-phenanthroline-?N,N')iron(II)].


ABSTRACT: In the title binuclear complex, [Fe(2)(C(8)H(7)O(2))(4)(C(12)H(8)N(2))(2)(H(2)O)], the Fe(II) ion is six-coordinated by three carboxylate O atoms from three 4-methyl-benzoate ligands, two N atoms from two 1,10-phenanthroline ligands and one bridging aqua ligand in a distorted octa-hedral geometry. The coordinated water mol-ecule acting as the bridging ligand is located on a twofold axes and the complex mol-ecule displays C(2) mol-ecular symmetry. The Fe?Fe separation in the binuclear complex is 3.490?(3)?Å. The crystal structure is stabilized by hydrogen bonding and ?-? stacking inter-actions [the centroid-centroid distance between adjacent 1,10-phenanthroline ring systems is 3.653?(2)?Å, and that between the 1,10-phenanthroline ring system and the phenyl ring of the 4-methyl-benzoate unit of a neighbouring complex is 3.622?(3)?Å].
