Abstract
A dimeric [{Fe(5-ClL1)}2(m-O)], [H2-5-ClL1 = N,N¢-bis(5-Chloro-2-hydroxybenzylidene)- 2-methylpropane-1,2-diamine] tetradentate Schiff-base complex, 1, has been synthesized and its crystal structure has been determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. Structural analysis of complex 1 shows that the complex is a centrosymmetric dimer. Each of the Fe(III) ions has a five-coordinate geometry and one oxygen atom bridges two Fe(III) ions to form a m-oxo structure. The geometry around iron atom can be described as a square based pyramid with the FeN2O2 coordination plane and oxo ligand.
