Tri-μ-chlorido-bis­(η6-hexa­methyl­benzene)­ruthenium(II) tetra­chlorido­ferrate(III)

摘要

The mol­ecular geometry of the complex cation in the title structure, [(μ-Cl)3{Ru^II(η⁶-C6Me6)}2][Fe^IIICl4], compares very well with that reported earlier for the corresponding PF6 ⁻ salt [Pandey et al. (1999). J. Organomet. Chem. >592, 278–282]. The [FeCl4]⁻ counter ion has a rather regular tetra­hedral geometry with Fe—Cl distances and Cl—Fe—Cl angles in the range 2.1891 (7)–2.2018 (8) Å and 107.10 (3)–110.56 (3)°, respectively. There are no significant inter­molecular inter­actions in the crystal except for some weak C—H⋯Cl contacts, which in turn indicates that the crystal packing is determined predominantly by electrostatic inter­actions between the ionic constituents.
