Abstract

The title octahedral complexes, [bis(pyridine-2-carbonyl)­amin­ate]­di­chloro­(methanol)­iron(III), [Fe(C12H8N3O2)­Cl2-(CH4O)], and [bis­(pyri­dine-2-carbonyl)­amin­ate]­di­chloro-(ethanol)­iron(III), [Fe­(C12H8N3O2)Cl2(C2H6O)], both crystallize in space group P\overline 1 and have similar structures. Mono­anionic bpca− [bis(pyridine-2-carbonyl)­amin­ate] acts as a planar tridentate ligand in both cases. Coordination bond distances are in the range typical of high-spin FeIII complexes. Carbon–oxygen distances are typical of a C=O double bond suggesting the negative charge of the bpca− ligand is localized on the central N atom.
