Crystal structure of [N,N '-bis(5-chlorosalicylidene)-1,3-diaminopropane]iron(II)

Abstract

The crystal structure of the title compound has been determined. The coordination geometry about the iron(II) center is a tetrahedrally distorted square plane formed by the four-coordinate N2O2 donor set of the Schiff-base imine-phenol ligand. Molecules of the title compound are not planar. The two Schiff-base moieties, which themselves are reasonably planar, are inclined at an angle of 31.5(1)degrees.
