Hexakis(1-methylimidazole-N³)iron(II) dichloride dihydrate

L. Aparici Plaza, K. Baranowska and B. Becker

Abstract: The title compound, [Fe(C₄H₆N₂)₆]Cl₂·2H₂O, contains discrete ions and molecules and is isostructural with its Co, Ni and Ru analogues. The Fe^II atom (site symmetry ) is octahedrally coordinated by six 1-methylimidazole ligands. An anionic O-HCl hydrogen-bonded assembly formed by two chloride ions and two water molecules completes the structure.
