Tris(5,6-dimethyl-1,10-phenanthroline-?(2) N,N')iron(II) bis-(tricyano-methanide).


ABSTRACT: 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 = tricyano-methanide). In the complex cation, the Fe(II) atom is coordinated by six N atoms from three chelating dimephen ligands at an average Fe-N distance of 1.963?(4)?Å giving a distorted octa-hedral geometry. The crystal structure is stabilized by weak C-H?N hydrogen bonds and C N?? inter-actions between planar [maximum deviations of 0.024?(3) and 0.015?(3)?Å] tcm anions and pyridine rings of dimephen [N2?centroid = 3.531?(3) and 3.726?(3)?Å; C N?centroid = 96.4?(2) and 97.1?(2)°].
