Y.-H. Ye, Y. Han, T.-T. Chen and C.-H. Liu

Abstract: The title complex (systematic name; {2,2'-[o-phenylenebis(nitrilomethylidyne)]diphenolato}iron(II)), [Fe(C₂₀H₁₄N₂O₂)], is a mononuclear iron(II) complex with a distorted square-planar coordination geometry. The central Fe²⁺ ion is four-coordinated by two O and two N atoms from a Schiff base ligand, which is obtained by condensing 1,2-diaminobenzene and two equivalents of salicylaldehyde in acetonitrile.
