Abstract: In the title complex, [FeCl₂(C₁₆H₁₀N₃O₃)(C₃H₇NO)], the Fe^III ion is in an octahedral environment, with the equatorial plane being defined by the two N and one O atoms of the tridentate ligand 2-hydroxy-5-nitro-N-(8-quinolyl)salicylaldimine, and a chlorine, the octahedron being completed by the other chlorine and a dimethylformamide (DMF) O atom in axial positions. Non-classical hydrogen bonds between 8-aminoquinolyl C-H groups and nitro O and Cl atoms of neighbouring molecules generate a layered hydrogen-bonded network.
