In the title compound, (C14H13N2)[FeCl4]·CH3OH, the 2,9-dimethyl-1,10-phenanthrolin-1-ium cation, FeCl4− anion and methanol solvent molecule lie on a twofold rotation axis. Due to symmetry, the H atom on the N atom of the cation is half-occupied. In the anion, the FeIII atom has a tetrahedral geometry. H atoms of the methanol molecule are disordered over two sets of sites around the twofold axis. In the crystal, π–π contacts between the pyridine rings and between the pyridine and benzene rings [centroid–centroid distances = 3.6535 (16) and 3.5522 (17) Å] and intermolecular O—H⋯N and N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds stabilize the structure.

For the preparation of the title compound, a solution of 2,9-dimethyl-1,10-phenanthroline (0.25 g, 1.20 mmol) in acetonitrile (10 ml) was added to a solution of FeCl3.6H2O (0.11 g, 0.40 mmol) in methanol (10 ml) and the resulting yellow solution was stirred at 313 K for 2 h. This solution was left to evaporate slowly at room temperature. After 5 days, yellow needle crystals of the title compound were isolated (yield: 0.13 g, 74.0%; m. p. 426 K).
H atoms bonded to N atom was found in difference Fourier map and refined isotropically. H atoms bonded to C and O atoms were positioned geometrically and refined as riding atoms, with O—H = 0.84, C—H = 0.95 (aromatic) and 0.98 (methyl) Å and with Uiso(H) = 1.2(1.5 for methyl and hydroxyl)Ueq(C,O)). H atoms of the methanol solvent molecule are disordered over two sets of sites around a twofold axis.
In the recent years, we reported the synthesis and crystal structures of iron(III) proton transfer complexes, such as [Fe(bipy)Cl4][bipy.H] (Amani et al., 2007), [Fe(phen)Cl4][phen.H] (Khavasi et al., 2008), [Fe(4,4'-dmbpy)Cl4][4,4'-dmbpy.H] (Amani et al., 2009) (bipy = 2,2'-bipyridine, phen = 1,10-phenanthroline, 4,4'-dmbpy = 4,4'-dimethyl-2,2'-bipyridine). Several proton transfer systems using 2,9-dimethyl-1,10-phenanthroline as proton donor molecules, such as [Me2phen.H](ClO4) (Morsali, 2005), [Me2phen.H](NO3) (Yu et al., 2006), [Me2phen.H][Ru(CO)3Cl3] (Moreno et al., 2006) and [Me2phen.H]2[PtCl6] (Yousefi et al., 2007) (Me2phen.H = 2,9-dimethyl-1,10-phenanthrolinium) have been synthesized and characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction methods. Also, the structure of [Me2phen.H][FeCl4] was reported (Veidis et al., 1981). We report herein the synthesis and
of the title compound.The molecular structure of the title compound is shown in Fig. 1. The π–π interactions between the pyridine and benzene rings, Cg1···Cg1i = 3.6535 (16) and Cg1···Cg2ii = 3.5522 (17) Å [Cg1 and Cg2 are the centroids of the N1/C2–C6 ring and the C5, C6, C7, C5iii, C6iii, C7iii ring; symmetry codes: (i) x, 1-y, -1/2+z; (ii) 2-x, 1-y, -z; (iii) 2-x, y, 1/2-z], stabilize the structure (Fig. 2).
of the title compound contains half of a protonated 2,9-dimethyl-1,10-phenanthrolinium cation, half of a FeCl4- anion and half of a methanol solvent molecule. In the anion, the FeIII atom has a tetrahedral coordination. The Fe—Cl bond lengths and angles are within normal range (Abboud et al., 2005; Amani et al., 2007). In the crystal, intermolecular O—H···N and N—H···O hydrogen bonds (Table 1) andFor related structures, see: Abboud et al. (2005); Amani et al. (2007, 2009); Khavasi et al. (2008); Moreno et al.

Geometry. All e.s.d.'s (except the e.s.d. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell e.s.d.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of e.s.d.'s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between e.s.d.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell e.s.d.'s is used for estimating e.s.d.'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 > σ(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. |

In the recent years, we reported the synthesis and crystal structures of iron(III) proton transfer complexes, such as [Fe(bipy)Cl4][bipy.H] (Amani et al., 2007), [Fe(phen)Cl4][phen.H] (Khavasi et al., 2008), [Fe(4,4'-dmbpy)Cl4][4,4'-dmbpy.H] (Amani et al., 2009) (bipy = 2,2'-bipyridine, phen = 1,10-phenanthroline, 4,4'-dmbpy = 4,4'-dimethyl-2,2'-bipyridine). Several proton transfer systems using 2,9-dimethyl-1,10-phenanthroline as proton donor molecules, such as [Me2phen.H](ClO4) (Morsali, 2005), [Me2phen.H](NO3) (Yu et al., 2006), [Me2phen.H][Ru(CO)3Cl3] (Moreno et al., 2006) and [Me2phen.H]2[PtCl6] (Yousefi et al., 2007) (Me2phen.H = 2,9-dimethyl-1,10-phenanthrolinium) have been synthesized and characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction methods. Also, the structure of [Me2phen.H][FeCl4] was reported (Veidis et al., 1981). We report herein the synthesis and crystal structure of the title compound.
The molecular structure of the title compound is shown in Fig. 1. The asymmetric unit of the title compound contains half of a protonated 2,9-dimethyl-1,10-phenanthrolinium cation, half of a FeCl4- anion and half of a methanol solvent molecule. In the anion, the FeIII atom has a tetrahedral coordination. The Fe—Cl bond lengths and angles are within normal range (Abboud et al., 2005; Amani et al., 2007). In the crystal, intermolecular O—H···N and N—H···O hydrogen bonds (Table 1) and π–π interactions between the pyridine and benzene rings, Cg1···Cg1i = 3.6535 (16) and Cg1···Cg2ii = 3.5522 (17) Å [Cg1 and Cg2 are the centroids of the N1/C2–C6 ring and the C5, C6, C7, C5iii, C6iii, C7iii ring; symmetry codes: (i) x, 1-y, -1/2+z; (ii) 2-x, 1-y, -z; (iii) 2-x, y, 1/2-z], stabilize the structure (Fig. 2).
