L. Yang and B. Tang

Abstract: In the title compound, [Fe(C₂₀H₁₄N₄O₂)Cl], the Fe^III ion is in a distorted square-pyramidal environment, with two pyridine and two deprotonated amide N atoms in the basal plane and the Cl ion in the apical position. The Fe^III ion is displaced from the basal plane of the square- pyramid towards the apical Cl atom by 0.2942 (4) Å. The molecules are linked into a three-dimensional network by C-HCl and C-HO hydrogen bonds.
