[Fe(HL)Cl2].EtOH, where HL is the monoanion of benzoylacetone S-n-propylisothiosemicarbazone

Abstract

In the title compound, (benzoylacetone S-n-propylisothiosemicarbazonato-O,N1,N4)dichloroiron(III) ethanol solvate, [Fe(C14H18N3OS)Cl2]·C 2H5OH, the FeIII ion has a distorted square-pyramidal environment. In the equatorial plane, iron(III) is coordinated by one O and two N atoms from the chelate ligand and by one Cl atom, while the apical position is occupied by the second Cl ligand. The molecule is connected to neighbouring symmetry-equivalent molecules through hydrogen bonds of different types.
