Study of the Crystal Structure of Oxo‐bridged Binuclear Fe III Complex with Chiral Salen Ligand

A oxo‐bridged binuclear iron complex with chiral salen ligand [Fe 2 L 2 ]O (H 2 L = R, R'‐N, N' ‐bis (3,5‐di‐ tert ‐butylsalicylaldene)‐1, 2‐cyclohexanediamine) has been synthesized and the structure has been determined by X‐ray diffraction analysis. The title complex crystallizes in triclinic system with space group P ‐1. Crystal data: a = 1.42555(14) nm, b = 1.54889 (15) nm, c = 1.83662 (17) run, = 103.873(2)°, β = 100.506(2)°, 7=101.840(2)°, V = 3.7371 nm 3 , D c = 1.082 g/cm 3 and Z = 2. In the complex, each iron center is penta‐coordination and in distorted square‐pyramidal environment. Two Fe m atoms are intramolecularity bridged by an oxygen atom with Fe‐Fe nonbond distance of 0.3517(3) nm.
