M. M. Olmstead, C. Troeltzsch and T. E. Patten

Abstract: The title compound, [FeCl₂(C₂₇H₃₄N₄O)]·CH₃CN, was readily synthesized from the reaction of FeCl₂·4H₂O and N-(2,6-diisopropylphenyl)-2-[(di-2-pyridylmethyl)amino]ethanamide in THF. The iron(II) metal center is in an octahedral geometry. There is an intermolecular hydrogen bond between the amide H and one chlorine of a neighboring complex.
