Abstract: The crystal structure of the title compound, [Et₃NH][(Me₂bpb)FeCl₂] or (C₆H₁₆N)[FeCl₂(C₂₀H₁₆N₄O₂)], has been determined. Four N atoms of the Me₂bpb [1,2-bis(2-pyridinecarboxamido)-4,5-dimethylbenzene] ligand and two chloro ligands are coordinated to the iron(III) ion. The geometry of the complex anion is distorted octahedral, with a Cl-Fe-Cl angle of 156.59 (3)°. The 4,5-dimethylbenzene ring of the Me₂bpb ligand is tilted from the N₄ plane by 9.5 (1)°.
