Abstract

The crystal structure of bis (2,2′:6′,2″-terpyridine)iron(II) bis ( perchlorate ) hydrate has been determined by single-crystal X-ray diffractometry . The compound is monoclinic, space group P21, with two molecules in a unit cell of dimensions a 8.830(3), b 8.914(1), c 20.037(6)Ǻ, β 100.82(1)°. The structure was refined by least squares to a residual of 0.048 for 2007 observed reflections. The cation is found to have approximate D2d symmetry, with the principal distortion from octahedral symmetry being an axial compression. The lattice water molecule and anions are oriented towards the interligand pockets of the cation. There is hydrogen bonding between the water molecule and one anion.
