Crystal structure, synthesis and thermal properties of tetra-kis-(4-benzoyl-pyridine-κN)bis-(iso-thio-cyanato-κN)iron(II).
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: The asymmetric unit of the title compound, [Fe(NCS)2(C12H9NO)4], consists of an FeII ion that is located on a centre of inversion, as well as two 4-benzoyl-pyridine ligands and one thio-cyanate anion in general positions. The FeII ions are coordinated by two N-terminal-bonded thio-cyanate anions and four 4-benzoyl-pyridine ligands into discrete complexes with a slightly distorted octa-hedral geometry. These complexes are further linked by weak C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds into chains running along the c-axis direction. Upon heating, this complex loses half of the 4-benzoyl-pyridine ligands and transforms into a compound with the composition Fe(NCS)2(4-benzoyl-pyridine)2, that might be isotypic to the corresponding MnII compound and for which the structure is unknown.
