In the title compound, [Fe(C5H6ClO2)3], the FeIII cation is situated on a twofold rotation axis and is coordinated by six O atoms from three 3-chloropentane-2,4-dionate ligands in a slightly distorted octahedral environment. Fe—O bond lengths are in the range 1.9818 (18)–1.9957 (18) Å. The trans O—Fe—O angles are 169.06 (13) and 171.54 (8)°, whereas the corresponding cis angles are in the range 84.81 (10)–100.68 (12)°. In the crystal, molecules are linked via C—H⋯Cl interactions.

To a clear solution of FeCl3. H2O (2 mmol, 0.54 g) in water (15 ml) a solution of 3-chloropentane-2,4-dione (6 mmol, 0.81 g) in methanol (5 ml) was added while stirring. Afterwards 1 M NaOH (6 ml) was slowly added and the resulting solution was stirred at 70°C for 15 minutes. After cooling to room temperature the deep red product was filtrated, washed with water (20 ml), and subsequently air-dried. Yield: 0.65 g, 71%. Crystals suitable for X-ray analysis were obtained by recrystallization from ethanol.
All H atoms were initially located in a difference Fourier maps and were subsequently treated as riding atoms in geometrically idealized positions, with C—H = 0.96 Å, and with Uiso(H) = 1.5Ueq(C). To improve the δ(F2)/e.s.d. and with Fo2 < Fc2 were deleted from the refinement.

Experimental. 192 frames in 5 sets of ω scans. Rotation/frame = 2.0 °. Crystal-detector distance = 25.00 mm. Measuring time = 60 s/°. |
Geometry. All s.u.'s (except the s.u. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell s.u.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of s.u.'s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between s.u.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell s.u.'s is used for estimating s.u.'s involving l.s. planes. |
Refinement. Refinement of F2 against ALL reflections. The weighted R-factor wR and goodness of fit S are based on F2, conventional R-factors R are based on F, with F set to zero for negative F2. The threshold expression of F2 > 2σ(F2) is used only for calculating R-factors(gt) etc. and is not relevant to the choice of reflections for refinement. R-factors based on F2 are statistically about twice as large as those based on F, and R-factors based on ALL data will be even larger. |

β-Diketonates have been proven to be versatile ligands for various metal ions. They can be easily derivatized, thus modifying the electronic and steric nature of these ligands to design suitable structure/function relationships (Bray et al., 2007; Garibay et al., 2009; Perdih (2011). Metal-organic frameworks are considered as promising materials for many applications mostly due to interesting porosity properties. Besides the potential applications as gas storage other applications such as molecular sensing, ion exchange, catalysis, optics and magnetism have received considerable attention (Bray et al., 2007; Garibay et al., 2009). Particularly interesting is the metal-ligand coordination with applications in organic synthesis, where iron β-diketonate compounds showed great applicability. Reasons for this are the natural abundance of this metal and also it's biocompatibility, both of which are essential for the development of sustainable chemical catalysis (Schröder et al., 2011).
In the title molecule (Fig. 1), the iron(III) cation is situated on a twofold axis, and is surrounded by six O atoms from three 3-chloropentane-2,4-dionate ligands in a slightly distorted octahedral environment. Fe—O bond lengths are in the range of 1.9818 (18)–1.9957 (18) Å, trans O—Fe—O angles are 169.06 (13)° and 171.54 (8)°, and cis angles are in the range of 84.81 (10)°–100.68 (12)°. These bond lengths are similar as for example in Fe(acac)3 (Iball & Morgan, 1967). The title compound is isostructural with the corresponding aluminium(III) compound (Perdih, 2012). The displacement of the metal atom is best described by a bending of a chelate ligand about the "bite" atoms. The angles between the O—Fe—O and the ligand chelate mean planes are 0.78° and 12.68°. For comparison these values are 1.40°, 10.13° and 11.98° in Fe(hfac)3 (hfac = hexafluoroacetylacetonate) (Pfluger & Haradem, 1983) and 0.05°, 3.24° and 10.60° in Fe(acac)3 (Ibell & Morgan, 1967). A 1-D framework is achieved due to weak intermolecular C6–H6A···Cl1 (–x + 1/2, –y + 1/2, –z + 1) interactions where one 3-chloropentane-2,4-dionate ligand acts as a hydrogen-bond donors and two ligands are hydrogen-bond acceptors (Fig. 2).
