The title compound, [Fe(C2H5O)(C36H44N4)], contains a five-coordinate iron–porphyrin complex with an axial ethoxy ligand. The iron(III) atom is displaced by 0.504 (2) Å towards the ethoxy ligand from the 24-atom mean plane of the porphyrin. The average Fe—Np distance is 2.078 (2) Å and the Fe—O distance is 1.8232 (18) Å. The ethoxy C atoms are disordered in a 0.581 (12):0.419 (12) ratio. The bond angles of the Fe—O—C linkage are 128.6 (3) and 130.4 (3)°, respectively, for the major and minor occupancy C atoms.

A suitable purple block-shaped crystal was grown unexpectedly by slow evaporation of a dichloromethane-ethanol (1:1) solution of µ-oxo-bis((octaethylporphyrinato)iron(III)) at room temperature under N2 under normal laboratory lighting.
H atoms were placed using assumed geometry with C—H(aromatic = 0.95 Å, methylene = 0.99 Å, and methyl = 0.98 Å). Displacement parameters of the H atoms were set to 1.2 (1.5 for methyl) times the isotropic equivalent for the bonded C.
We report the structure of the five-coordinate (2,3,7,8,12,13,17,18-octaethylporphyrinato)(ethoxy)iron(III) complex (i.e., (OEP)Fe(OEt)). Iron porphyrin alkoxide complexes can serve as structural models of tyrosinate ligated heme enzyme catalases which catalyze the degradation of hydrogen peroxide to water and oxygen (Chelikani et al. 2004). Other related octaethylporphyrin ferric alkoxide complexes have been synthesized and structurally characterized previously (Kanamori et al. 2005 and Hatano et al. 1990).
The ethoxy ligand was disordered at both carbon positions C37 and C38, and this O—C37—C38 fragment was modeled in two orientations. Occupancies for the disordered group refined to 0.581 (12) and 0.419 (12) for the unprimed and primed atoms, respectively. The molecular structure of (OEP)Fe(OEt) showing the disordered ethoxy group is shown in Figure 1. Selected bond lengths and angles are given in Table 1. The ethoxy group binds to the iron center through the O atom. The iron atom is displaced by 0.504 (2) Å from the 24-atom mean porphyrin plane toward the ethoxy ligand. The Fe—O distance of 1.8232 (13) Å is in the 1.816 (4) Å - 1.926 (3) Å range reported for similar octaethylporphyrin iron alkoxide complexes (Kanamori et al. 2005 and Hatano et al. 1990). The bond angles of the Fe—O—C linkage are 128.6 (3)° (for C37) and 130.4 (3)° (for C37'), respectively.

We report the structure of the five-coordinate (2,3,7,8,12,13,17,18-octaethylporphyrinato)(ethoxy)iron(III) complex (i.e., (OEP)Fe(OEt)). Iron porphyrin alkoxide complexes can serve as structural models of tyrosinate ligated heme enzyme catalases which catalyze the degradation of hydrogen peroxide to water and oxygen (Chelikani et al. 2004). Other related octaethylporphyrin ferric alkoxide complexes have been synthesized and structurally characterized previously (Kanamori et al. 2005 and Hatano et al. 1990).
The ethoxy ligand was disordered at both carbon positions C37 and C38, and this O—C37—C38 fragment was modeled in two orientations. Occupancies for the disordered group refined to 0.581 (12) and 0.419 (12) for the unprimed and primed atoms, respectively. The molecular structure of (OEP)Fe(OEt) showing the disordered ethoxy group is shown in Figure 1. Selected bond lengths and angles are given in Table 1. The ethoxy group binds to the iron center through the O atom. The iron atom is displaced by 0.504 (2) Å from the 24-atom mean porphyrin plane toward the ethoxy ligand. The Fe—O distance of 1.8232 (13) Å is in the 1.816 (4) Å - 1.926 (3) Å range reported for similar octaethylporphyrin iron alkoxide complexes (Kanamori et al. 2005 and Hatano et al. 1990). The bond angles of the Fe—O—C linkage are 128.6 (3)° (for C37) and 130.4 (3)° (for C37'), respectively.
