(2,2′-Biquinoline-κ2 N,N′)dichlorido-iron(II)

Abstract

In the title compound, [FeCl2(C18H12N 2)], the FeII atom is four-coordinated in a distorted tetra-hedral arrangement by an N,N′-bidentate 2,2′-biquinoline ligand and two chloride ions. In the crystal, there are extensive π-π contacts between the pyridine rings [centroid-centroid distances = 3.7611 (3), 3.7603 (4), 3.5292 (4), 3.5336 (5) and 3.6656 (4) Å].
