Abstract: The title compound, [Fe(C₁₂H₈N₂)₃][Fe₂Cl₆O]·0.5CH₃CH₂OH, consists of one [Fe(phen)₃]²⁺ cation (phen = 1,10-phenanthroline), one [Fe₂Cl₆O]^2- anion and one half-molecule of ethanol. In the cation, the Fe^II atom is coordinated by six N atoms from three phen ligands in a distorted octahedral geometry. In the bent anion, two Fe^III atoms are connected by a bridging oxide O atom [bridging angle = 160.6 (4)°], and each Fe^III atom is also coordinated by three Cl atoms, completing a distorted tetrahedral geometry.
