The X-ray crystallographic analysis of the title complex, chloro[3,10,13,20
-tetraethyl-4,9,14,19-tetramethylpentacyclo- [16.2.1.1(2,5).1(8,11).1(12,15

olvate, [Fe(C33H37N4)Cl]. CHCl3, reveals a twisted macrocyclic framework wi
th a slightly distorted rectangular pyramidal core, where the deviation of
the central Fe III atom from the least-squares plane of the C20N4 core is 0
.594 (1) Angstrom. Some important bond distances are as follows: Fe-N 2.019
(3), 2.026 (3), 2.028 (3) and 2.034 (3) Angstrom; Fe-Cl 2.232 (1) Angstrom
