P. R. Martínez-Alanis, R. A. Toscano and I. Castillo

Abstract: The title compound, [Fe{OS(CH₃)₂}₆]Br₃, is isostructural with [Fe{OS(CH₃)₂}₆](NO₃)₃ [Tzou, Mullaney, Normand & Chang (1995), Acta Cryst. C51, 2249-2252]. The Fe^III centre in the cation occupies a crystallographic $\\overline{3}$ site and has a distorted octahedral coordination, with an Fe-O distance of 2.000 (2) Å and O-Fe-O angles of 92.01 (7) and 87.99 (7)°.
