J. Zachara et A. Zimniak, AN AZOMETHYLENE CARBONYLIRON COMPLEX FROM 4,4'-DIMETHYLBENZALDAZINE, RAZONE-N-1-(5-METHYLBENZYLIDENE)HEXACARBONYLDIIRON, Acta crystallographica. Section C, Crystal structure communications, 54, 1998, pp. 353-355
The crystal structure of the title complex, [Fe-2(C16H16N2)(CO)(6)], c
ontains two crystallographically independent molecules of the complex
which have enantiomeric conformations and show notable differences in
the geometry of the organic ligand. The typical Fe-Fe single bond is u
nsymmetrically bridged by the N atom and by a 3-metallated 2,3-pi bond
ed aromatic ring.
