Abstract: The title extended solid coordination compound, {[Fe(C₄₄H₄₀N₂O₄P₂)(C₃H₇NO)₂](ClO₄)₂·2C₃H₇NO}_n, was crystallized unexpectedly from the reaction mixture containing the Trost ligand (1R,2R)-(+)-1,2-diaminocyclohexane-N,N'-bis(2'-diphenylphosphinobenzoyl) and Fe(ClO₄)₂·6H₂O in a 1:1 ratio in dimethylformamide (DMF) under reflux conditions. The polymeric complex is characterized by Fe^II metal centers that are coordinated by two oxidized Trost ligands, each coordinated in a bidentate fashion in a square plane, along with two DMF molecules above and below the plane [average Fe-O_DMF = 2.086 (4) Å], forming an overall pseudo-octahedral geometry. The Trost ligand binds adjacent Fe^II centers, each Fe^II being bound through the O atom of one of the phosphine oxides [average Fe-O_PPh2 = 2.115 (4) Å] and the carbonyl O atom of the adjacent amide [average Fe-O_amide = 2.192 (3) Å]. Disorder is observed in the co-solvated solvent: there are two DMF molecules per Fe^II centre, which were modeled as one DMF molecule with complete occupancy and the other being modeled in two positions with equal occupancy. Disorder was also observed with one of the perchlorate anions, which was modeled in two positions with 0.75:0.25 occupancy.
