Bis(8-methylquinolinium) tetrachloridoferrate(III) chloride

R. Kruszynski, D. Wyrzykowski, E. Styczen and L. Chmurzynski

Abstract: The asymmetric unit of the title compound, (C₁₀H₁₀N)₂[FeCl₄]Cl, contains two protonated 8-methylquinolinium cations, one chloride anion and one tetrachloridoferrate(III) anion. The mean Fe-Cl distance is 2.1880 (7) Å. The two 8-methylquinolinium cations and chloride anion are connected via N-HCl hydrogen bonds. Furthermore, there are stacking interactions between cations. N-HCl hydrogen bonds link two 8-methylquinolinium cations. The bromido analogue is isostructural with the title compound.
